    Video Player Lockup


    OK so when I attempt to use any video player on an existing AVI file my system locks up and has to be rebooted. I have tried WMP, VLC (my preference) and KPS. They all react the same way, leads me to believe it is hardware and not a software issue,

    Is 1 gig of ram enough for this system to operate properly and can this be the culprit?

    Thanks

    Yes you should have at least 2 gigs for 32bit and at least 4 - 6 Gigs for 64bit

    Is it a requirement of Win 7 to have 2gb for 32 or just suggested? I have been wondering about the min and max memory for Win 7..

Been trying to figure out what is causing the BSOD / lockups that I've been experiencing. Sometimes the machine flat out locks up, and the speakers blast some loud death noise.

Hi there. I'm looking for a video player that can divide videos into smaller scenes (like every 15 or 30 sec) so that they serve as previews and lets you seek to the part you want. Note that it doesn't really split the video; it just does it on the spot for previewing purposes. This technique was...
