Computer shuts off when trying to play video

just yesterday any video turns off windows. goes black and the restarts news clips , movies, youtube turn it off. worked fine 2days ago.

Is it just in browser? Flash or any video? Tried Youtebe in HTML5/WebM? Wonky hardware acceleration settings? Faulty GPU hardware? Insufficient power from the PSU? Could be any of those, can you test a video in a stand alone player like VLC or Mplayer? Can you test with full acceleration on and off?
Just trying to narrow things down a bit. https://www.youtube.com/html5 you can find them easier using http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html?name=Youtube+WebM

ITunes shuts down when trying to play video

My iTunes software shuts down when I try to play a video from my iTunes Library or from the iTunes Store site. I have backed up the library and have tried to reinstall iTunes, but when I did the entire library reappeared and the same problem exists. My Quicktime does work and iDVD, too, with home movies, other online streaming and DVDs, So I'm sure that the problem is with iTunes.

I upgraded Quicktime and now it works.

Computer completely freezes when trying to play video

When I double-click on the thumbnail of a video to play it, the computer completely freezes, and sometimes the display will get corrupted with noise. I tried exporting a video file to disk, then opening it with Quicktime instead of iPhoto, and the same thing happens. I have cross-posted this question to the Quicktime forum also but I see more people talking about this problem here in iPhoto.

I have since posting this question looked at the OS X Console, and have seen these errors, which sound correlated to my problem of playing video from a variety of cameras, including iPHone 4. I also tested playback on my newer Mac laptop and have no trouble at all.

When trying to play videos I get the message "requested URL is not supported on this network" how do I fix this?

I receive the error "requested URL is not supported on this network" when trying to play videos on my iPhone. Can you please advise how to fix this problem?

Hi,
You will need to re-instal iCal as an optional install from your OSX installer DVDs. Then run the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update.
Best wishes

Computer shuts off when win2k boots up

antec pp-352x 350w psu
MSI k7t266 pro2 mobo
athlon xp 1800 oem
512 mb pc 2100 ddr
geforce4 ti4400 128mb
western digital 60gb 7200
the mobo and cpu is new. everything else was pulled from my last system.
Everything is connected properly, bios recognizes all components, system boots as normal. However, when win2k starts up (you see the window screen and the bottom says starting up), the computer powers down.
Also when I try to set the fsb at 133mhz and reboot, the computer shuts off after two seconds. I have to reset cmos and set fsb at 100mhz for it to even boot.
I've fiddled with the settings and no matter what I do, the computer shuts off. Wink2k is a previous install, so maybe it doesn't like the new mobo? I've tried two different psu, same results. I've tested the memory and video card with my work computer, and got no problems. CPU temperature is only 38 degrees celsius (I'm using a coolmaster heatsink rated up to xp1900)
WHY does my computer turn off at the exact same time every time I power my computer!!?!?!?!?!

the cooler base has a raised bit in it,a step were it goes up
this is designed to give clearance over the top of the cpu socket which sticks up higher than the rest of it
put it the wrong way round and the cooler never sits properley on the cpu core
the fixing clip is in most cases on the step side of the cooler,so if its pointing down into the board you have put it the wrong way round

Why does my computer shut off when optimizing pix??

Just recently, when i tried to put photos and movies on my 30G iPod, the screen on my laptop shuts off. The computer does not shut down completely, whats going on? it also shuts off when i try to burn a cd now, HELP!

Your battery gauge needs to be recalibrated. The gauge "thinks" you have 20%, but the battery doesn't agree. You need to run the battery all the way down until the phone shuts off, then charge for 4 hours with the wall adapter. You may need to do this more than once if it is way off calibration.

Sound but no Video when trying to play video files - HELP!

I am trying to play video files via Elements Organizer. In this case it is .MOV files. The new screen pops up but all I get is the sound and no video. I have downloaded the newest quicktime player but it did not help. Any ideas?

Hi,
What happens when you play the same file outside Organizer?

Ipod 5gen freezes when trying to play video

My son has a 5th gen 60gb ipod that freezes as soon as he tries to play video on it. This started happening after he installed the latest firmware upgrade. We have deleted the videos, tried reinstalling the latest firmware, reinstalled any number of converted videos, and every time we try it, it freezes up solid. We end up having to use the standard "menu-center button" restart procedure to unfreeze it. Any ideas how to get it to play videos with out completely wiping his ipod clean and starting over with everything?

My problem is similar. My 80G freezes playing video that I converted. These videos used to play just fine. This all started after an upgrade in Dec 07 I think. I have an iphone and the videos play fine and we kjust purchased a 160G and all the videos play perfectly. A huge bummer with the 160G though is that most of the accessories we purchased for the 5th gen don't work with the new classics (ie: Phillips portable DVD/ipod player) - Why did Apple do that?

Flash wont work, have current edition,says not enabled but not in file, keep getting update adobe when trying to play video,how do you enable when not on menu?

I have over and over tried to accommodate the update flash message that pops up when trying to view videos, the closest I have gotten is enable in chrome but at that repository adobe isnt there, dont know what to do next, have tried many work throughs and none work, does any body have something? Dell latitude 500 been hotrodded, for speed, linux OS xbuntu 12.04 chrome current all out to date, going crazy have run clam av 0 comeback cant find adobe in any fashion only file in manager or setting but no help there, any ideas?

iDvd is not a general burn utility. However, there's a very good chance (whatever that file is) that Toast will burn it to Dvd-R. And if not (which is unlikely) then do as suggested already and use Mpegstream Clip. It's 100% free! However Mpeg 2 playback component may run you a few bucks (if needed).
Or the alternative is to invest hundreds of dollars in Apple software and use apps like FCP and DVDSP (or FCS) along with QT Pro. Nine times out of ten this combination tends to work well ... but it ain't cheap (not to mention a rather steep learning curve).

Computer shuts off when unplugged, resets internal clock

I have been having an issue lately with my mid 2009 MBP 13in where occasionally if the magsafe adapter is removed from the notebook, it will suddenly shut off. After about a minute, I am able to start it up again and it will be on battery power until I reset the SMC. When it does load up OSX, the internal clock is reset to some date in 2001 and I have to manually change it back to the present for everything to play nice again. It's been pretty annoying at times and I have no idea what would cause the computer to act up so sporadically. I can't recreate the problem on command, it just happens when I least expect it. The battery is fine as Coconutbattery shows a life of about 89% still. Does anyone have any idea what and why this occurs?

Remove the battery and inspect for any abnormalities. Check the contacts on both the battery and the computer. Also check your battery status under Apple Menu> About This Mac. Click on More Info and then the System Profiler will come up. In the left hand column select Power and see what your battery status is there compared to what Coconut battery said.

Gray Screen when trying to Play Videos

I can play my music fine but when I go to play a movie I get a gray screen. It locks up and I can't go back to the menu. I have to reset the ipod. The movies play fine when I am in ITunes and my library. I have tried downloading new software. Any suguestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

i have the same problem...
to add more to the story...
ive had about 20+ videos in my ipod for over a year, most of which were downloaded from itunes...
havent really used them except while flying, or the rare chance that im not driving on a trip. but while recently trying to play a video, ive noticed the same thing. its a blackish/dark grey screen, that shows the video wants to play...it shows the progress bar, saying its playing one second, then 2 seconds and then it freezes. the ipod is the current version and have reset it and my computer many times. im just about to restore the ipod hoping that solves it. but still have no other ideas as what to do...
oh, and the videos play fine in itunes, all are mp4 or w/e the **** these ipods use as their file types...not .wma

ITunes 10.6 crashes when trying to play video full screen

I haven't seen this particular issue among others' comments so…
When switching from the normal video window to full screen while watching a podcast in my iTunes library, the program immediately crashes. I've tried several different podcast, starting with the smaller video window, then trying to expand using the opposing diagonal arrows symbol in the bottom right corner. The result has been the same. As soon as I click on that the window screen goes black, and iTunes shuts down.
I'm on a MacBook Pro 4,1 using OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.6 (40).
Meanwhile, hope someone is working on the problem with the clickable scroll bars being inoperable.

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.
