Strange Freezing when running anything graphics related

[mattthurston]

Good Afternoon,

I am new here so please feel free to let me know if I am not following any rules etc.

So I have a PC that seems to be freezing when I run anything related to graphics, be that a flash movie, streaming video, watching DVD's or playing games.

I work in the industry so I am not totally clueless but this one has got me stumped and Google doesn't seem to help.

At first I thought it was crashing as I got a horrible stuck type sound associated with it, the sounds sticks at the point the computer freezes and you get a buzzing type noise.

Today I finally noticed that it wasnt a crash as the little circle on the cursor started to move around so I waited and after about 30 seconds the computer springs back to life.

Now there is nothing in the event logs relating to a warning or error of any kind, nothing has closed etc when it comes back and it will resume the video etc after catching up with itself through a kind of fast forwarding.

Now I am not sure what exactly I need to post in order to get this going so if it is ok can I wait for some form of instructions?

Basic PC specs etc below

Windows 7 Enterprise x64
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
ABIT AB9 QuadGT mobo
4 x 1GB Corsair PC2-6400
160GB Samsung drive (running just windows and some programs)
1TB WD drive (mainly for files)
Creative SB XFI sound card

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am totally out of ideas now.

Thanks in advance

Matt

A media delivery engine with ID '0' was not initialized due to error '0x80070005' when adding the URL 'http://+:10243/WMPNSSv4/3076655709/'. Restart your computer, and then restart the WMPNetworkSvc service. If the problem persists, reinstall Windows Media Player if possible.

Windows Media player is a windows feature, so it cannot be reinstalled.

• You Turn it off, reboot, and turn it on again; and see if the situation changes.
• Download and install Shark007's FREE Codec solutions - Windows 7 codecs

► Your BIOS is very old, try to update it.

BIOS Version/Date    Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 11/12/2006

► Update your ATI display Driver.

► Run http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

► Update Adobe Flash Player.


Let us know the situation after doing all these.
