[nForce] Geforce6200 Freezes my PC as soon as any video file is opened on K7N2GM-L

I was using a Geforce fx5200, never had a similar problem. Today I bought a Geforce6200 card, which will crash my pc very time when I tried to open a video file.
Acutally It did not really crash it...it looks like the pc become extremely slow, since if I shake the mouse, I will see the location of the mouse cursor will change after a few seconds.
Tried the same video card on a P4 system, no problem found.
I m using the newest driver from Nvidia website for the video card. I even flahed my motherboard to the newest bios, but nothing helps.
Any suggestion about what I could do?

My system
CPU: AMD Athlon XP2800+
Memory: 512MB DDR2700*2
Motherboard: MSI K7N2GM-L
HDD: Segate 160G, Maxtor 250G*2 (all P-ata)
PSU: Maddog 500W ATX/BTX Smart Cable Power Supply
Video Card: GIGABYTE GF 6200 | GV-N62128DE - R 128M AGP8X
The Bios of my motherboard is 1.6, I just flashed it yesterday. My nvidia driver for the nf2 chipset is 5.10, which I believe is the newest on Nvidia website. For video drvier I tried both the newest on the Nvidia website and the one shipped with my video card--same effects. I even reinstalled the windows xp, still no help. Also tried to toggle different options in the motherboard bios setting, but no go there.
The card does not seem to have a power connector. Also, I tried that card in a different system, which is a P4 2.26Hz+ cheapest ECS board + a crappy 400W PSU, got no problem playing video files there. Could it be something like incompatibility between the board and the card?
(I heard geforce6200 chip was designed for PCI-e, and all the AGP versions are made through a onboard bridge connector/adaptor----I might be wrong)
Thanks very much. I really dont want to return this card, since I have to pay shipping and the stocking fee.

Windows 7 Crashes/Freezes when playing ANY Video files

lets see can anyone get their head around this one as it is driving me round the bend.
So... I have a media centre PC connected to my HDTV by VGA cable. I ran the PC on XP for a long time but last December, I upgraded it to Windows 7
along with my laptop.
Cue 5 months of seamless media usage and network integration - it
worked like a dream and I played both HD and SD content with ease.
About two weeks ago, I was watching an HD '.mkv' file in Windows Media Centre and about 10 minutes into the video, the video file just Froze - both the video and the audio. I had to power down and restart the machine and started the video file again. About
5 minutes after re-starting the video file, it hung again (not at the same place in the video). I then went and watched the video on my laptop where
it worked fine.
A few days after this (first time I had used it again since it hung up) I began watching an SD '.avi' file. About 1 minute into the video the display lost it's signal (the little built in 'no signal' graphic came up) and after a further 15 seconds, the audio
cut out as well.
This latter behaviour is now happening every single time I try to watch any kind of SD or HD video of any file extention. This problem is also independant of what video player I use (windows media centre and windows media player classic) After a minute or so
the display cuts out and the audio quickly follows it.
Suffice to say, I was a little annoyed but knowing a good bit about computers I
decided to try and solve the problem taking the following steps.
1) I uninstalled all my codecs and reinstalled the latest version of the K-Lite Codec pack. The latest version has support for windows 7 so I doubt its a compatibility issue here. After doing this the problem still persisted, exactly the same as before.
2) I checked the date of the drivers for my video card (MSI nVidia 6200) and seen that they were dated sept 2009. I went onto the nVidia site and found the latest win7 drivers dated april 2010 - I installed these but still the problem is there.
3) I then thought, maybe its a problem with the actual video card hardware itself. When I built my machine the parts supplier accidentally
sent me two of the same video card so I swapped out the existing one for a brand spanking new version of the same card. The problem is still EXACTLY the same.
So yes -I am rather annoyed and frustrated at the moment as I have absolutely no idea what is wrong with the machine and how it went from working to not working almost overnight.
I'd like to add also that the display is perfect when doing anything else on the computer - I can surf, play youtube videos, listen to music etc and it is absolutely no problem.
Put on a video and it cuts out the display like I have explained.
halp.

Hello Tim,
I decided to do a clean install, a fresh new installation of windows and all its updates, I didn't get the option of
install SP1 yet.
After that I only installed Catalyst drivers: 11.5 and Realtek HD audio drivers, all downloaded on May 24 2011.
Then latest FFDShow and MPC-HC to test, both x64 versions Nothing else installed.
Only a fresh copy of windows with its updates and those mentioned drivers.
To my surprise, it happened a gain.
It still crashes after a while when playing MKV videos.
It's weird, because it doesn't happen with avi's or mp4's.
So, there must be something wrong with one of windows updates that creates this windows FREEZE.
Also there is no possibility to find out what error it is in "Event Viewer" as nothing gets recorded there. Anyone could
advise?
Thanks

ITunes freezes whenever I try to play any videos

iTunes 10.7
Windows 8 64 bit
The moment I try to play a video iTunes locks up. I have to "end task" in the task manager. The only way it will work is in iTunes Safe mode.
I tried disabling Direct3d accel in Quicktime -- did not work.
I completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes using Apple's KB. - did not work
I reverted to older version. - also did not work
I reinstalled video drivers - did not work
Checked for plugins - there are none.
iTunes has basically become unusuable for me. I can't watch any videos.
Can anyone help? I have no idea how to troubleshoot safe mode issues and Apple's KB didn't help.

Do you use audio output via HDMI?
Stereo output via HDMI doesnt work, in this case try to use external (for notebooks internal) speakers and set them as your default audio device.

QT Pro freezes at "nitializing" when trying to export video files

I paid for QT Pro so I can convert avi's and dvd's to my iPod but I have not been able to convert anything so far.... Any hints??

If you can't play in the free QuickTime Player you can't export it using the Pro upgrade.
QuickTime Player can't even open CSS encrypted DVD's and third party software is required to convert even those that do not have encryption.

Lightroom 4 freezes due to video files

I just installed Lightroom 4 Upgrade on a Mac running Lion. Everything went well until I created a Smart Collection with a file type of video. As soon as I click "Done" on the Smart Collection setup, Lightroom froze. I have to force quit the program and within a couple of seconds of starting the program up it freezes again so I don't even have time to try to delete the Smart Collection I made for videos.
How do I fix this? If I need to uninstall LR4, how do I do that since there is no uninstaller in the downloaded .dmg file. Due to the elaborate nature of Adobe software I'm reluctant to just drag the app into the trash or use the AppCleaner app I have.
This is NOT a very good start and I'M NOT HAPPY!!!!!
UPDATE:
Now Lightroom 4 won't even fininsh starting up before it freezes.
ANOTHER UPDATE:
I couldn't wait for a response so I used AppCleaner to uninstall LR4 and all its associated files and folders; then re-installed it using the .dmg. It installed as it did originally and seems to work fine.
EXCEPT: being re-installed the Smart Collection I made for videos is gone now. However, I went to the folder, while in the Library pane, which contains my iPhone photos and videos (which are the only videos I have in my LR catalog), clicked on the folder containing the videos, and LR FROZE AGAIN. BUT, at least now, after force quiting and restarting, LR seems to work OK. Stay away from video files.
Yet Another Update:
Wrong again. I closed LR4, re-opened it and guess what? IT FROZE ON STARTUP BEFORE IT EVEN FINISHED LOADING AGAIN.
Clearly from my experience and the multitude of postings on this forum, LR4 is not ready for prime time and should still be in beta.
Still Another Update:
The problem seems to revolve around video files and conversion to the 2012 process. I reinstalled LR4 and before updating to the 2012 process and without going near any video file or folders, everything worked fine, including quiting and restarting the program. I then upgraded all my photos to the 2012 process and when I quit and restarted LR it froze again. I did the whole un-install/re-install routine but before I did I moved my video files out of the folder in the catalog and after doing everything as before, LR finally quit and restarted without freezing. So stay away from video files for the time being.

It's not that we don't care, it's that the root cause of how exactly our iPads fail and have error's pop up are so numerous and complex that deciphering them all (along with their causes) would be a full time job! And I'm busy enough with my real one, there's bills to be paid! lol
In response to the actual topic at hand, I did notice deleting my videos made my syncs faster, thank you very much for that suggestion. I mean, I did have to delete ALL my videos to get a noticeable effect, but still, at least now I'm not scared I'm going to burn out my Pad's core every time I add a new song. lol

Please help - Ipod freezes when playing any video

Hi
I only got my ipod video a day ago and it wont play any video files. Everytime i go to play a video it freezes and just shows a black screen. I have tried downloading a music video from the itunes store and this wont work either. When i first got it i did play one video, im not sure if this was before i updated the firmware though?
I cannot figure out how to reset the firmware if this is what i need to do?
I would really appreciate some advice.
Thanks in advance.

I just got my iPod like two months ago and it wouldn't play any video podcast until I downloaded the new iTunes software. Now it plays some video podcasts but not all. I tried to watch some new podcasts I had downloaded from iTunes and it would play some of it then just freeze and make these wierd sounds. I tried again and it totally froze where I couldn't do anything, not even turn it off. It stayed that way until the battery was completely drained then it turned itself off later that night. The next morning I charged it up and it worked fine but I still can't watch those podcasts. Please help, cause this thing is pretty much brand new and for the amount of money I spent on it I don't want it to start giving me problems after only two months.

Firefox crashes as soon as Flash video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure"

I am unable to use Youtube or view Flash video on any sites.
Firefox crashes/quits as soon as a video tries to load and Safari shows the error "Plug-in Failure".
I have uninstalled Flash, downloaded a fresh version and installed, but no joy.
I am using OS X 10.6.6.
This is what I have tried so far;
1. Repaired Permissions.
2. Restarted with external drive and run Disk repair.
3. Restarted with external drive and run DiskWarrior.
4. Completely uninstalled Flash plugin. Robooted. Reinstalled Flash plugin. Rebooted.
5. I even installed an earlier version of the plugin to see if there was some incompatibility with the latest version.
6. Created a new user login and tried from there. Same problem.
Any ideas?

You have what is necessary for Flash Player to be working. Firefox had some issues last year but it was after loading a video or the website. I had not heard of it lately and even last year don't recall it happening on the Macs.
What is happening with yours sounds like a direct conflict with some addon/extension.
Here is the link from Firefox describing what happened last year. You might want to see if there is anything more current.

I'll get the Mac troubleshooting guide in a minute and post it also.
Any adblock or popup blocker software would cause this also.

How do I keep the sticky notes from shifting their placement as soon as I select File, Print?

Working with Acrobat Pro 9 and Windows 2007, I frequently use sticky notes to approve multi-page invoices scanned by another location. On the screen they appear where I put them - but as soon as I click File, Print with the printer "Adobe PDF" and "documents and markups" selected, the ntoes all shift to a static location on each page that overlays the invoice detail. I've tried multiple settings and defaults to no
avail. Any help is much appreciated.

Either don't rename upon export, or use the (original filename or) image number in the renaming template:
(see 'File Naming' section of export dialog box)

MP3 AND VIDEO FILES FREEZE/SKI

Hi,
Just recently my sound for my Creative Inspire 4. 4400 has been messed up. I will listen to MP3s or watch video files and my sound/video just starts to freeze/skip. I have reinstalled drivers 3 times and no go .. someone please help !!

The Inspire 4. 4400 is a speakerset, it doesn't use any drivers and doesn't produce any sound, the soundcard does.
Do you know which soundcard you have? Which drivers did you download?

Bridge CC - 64 bit freezes when selecting a video file icon in content view

On a 64-bit PC (12 core, 64 GIG RAM) with solid state hard drive and Nvidia Quadra 4000 video card with latest driver. I have purged cache, I have reset preferences, I have changed shortcut to Run As Administrator. I've tried to find a way to run in 32-bit mode but can't find a way to do it. I've also looked to see how I can install a 32-bit version with Adobe Cloud but can't find anything. Any ideas how to stop Bridge CC 64-bit from continually freezing upon selecting a video file icon?

Hi Yammer,
Thanks for the response. From what I can tell it is all video file types. The ones I most consistently have are .wmv, .mov, .mp4. I have also changed the file associations from the default video players to VLC to see if it was a Quicktime or Windows Media Player issue and that didn't solve it.

"Get info" on video files freezes iTunes for minutes.

When I right click a video file and select "get info", iTunes always freezes for at least 60 seconds. Then it shows the normal tag info. If I change anything and press ok it freezes again, then it works as it should (with the edited info saved properly). This is making it impossibly time consuming for me to organize my TV-Shows to my new iPod.
No issue with audio files, but all mp4 video I've tried so far gives me this issue (from movies of 2 hours to YouTube clips of 10 seconds length).
I have tried reinstalling with the newest version to no effect. I'm clueless, can't find anybody else with the same problem.
+_Help me please._+

This has always been the case for me. I thought it was normal behavior for iTunes.
