I'm running Windows 2000 pro with all the updates on a computer with a Tyan Trinity KT-A motherboard, Radeon 7000 card, with an AMD athlon chip (I can open my comp up if you need more specificity). The problem is that sometimes when I'm playing DivX format movies, my computer will restart (sometimes it'll bring up the blue screen and "commence a dump of physical memory" ... not the best message to get) with no warning. I've noticed that it doesnt necessarily happen with only "action-intense" scenes and when it does restart it's not necessarily on the same scene every time. I thought it might be a heating problem, so I got a new heat sink ... that didn't solve it. This problem occurs in Real Player and the DivX player. Help!
i've got half a gig of RAM. sometimes the DivX files will play though ... just last week I saw all of undercover brother
without a problem but when i tried watching eyes wide shut it kept restarting. I have tried reinstalling everything ... even my OS. None of my other friends with Dells and IBMs have this problem ... I think it may be a compatability issue of some sort ... I just don't know what to change. Thanks for the welcome Shawn.
I've downloaded the new set of codecs from the DivX website ... no change...
