Video's crashing the display driver (ATI HD5870)
Hi! I'm having some trouble with my display driver crashing when video files are played. Sometimes the driver recovers, but other times it ends with a BSOD.
I am running Windows 7 x64, 4gb RAM and a ATI Radeon HD5870 with up-to-date drivers
The driver crashes when
- an embedded video, such as on youtube, attempts to play
- during the Windows Experience Index tests (fails during video processing)
- playback of some video files in Windows Media Player (error message states not enough memory)
The video files in the Windows/Performance/WinSAT folder for example don't all crash.
These all crash in WMP:
Clip_480_5sec_6mbps_h264
Clip_480i_5sec_6mbps_new
Clip_480p_5sec_6mbps_new
This doesn't:
Clip_1080_5sec_10mbps_h264
They ALL play in PowerDVD 8 and Quicktime.
The BSOD log's also point to one particular driver, dxgkrnl.sys
The ATI driver is up-to-date and I've tried updating DirectX as well. Even tried reinstalling the OS over the top of the existing installation.
Any ideas would be great because I'm all out!
