Time for a reformat. :D
Reformat? I don't even have the disk - just some HP recovery partition (laptop).
seems I'm not alone. I found this:

Raising my RAM voltage solved the problem for me.
What type of video and what media player is crashing ?
update your video drivers.
You might want to repack the video bearings. :D
WTF are video bearings?
Vista is very susceptible to Driver issues...
Definitely upgrade everything... i'm talking BIOS, DirectX (August/Nov Update), Audio, Video etc...
I installed new vid card and then got stuck with continuous loop BSOD!! Not good i couldn't get into SafeMode!
Also, what type of video you watching, ensure your codecs are uptodate.
Oh! Cojones!

I know you were joking - it's getting old though! :rolleyes:
The thread I found about the ram voltage said it was in bios.
I just got another crash viewing a you tube video.
All media players crash vista (VLC, media player classic)\
I'm not sure how to read event log in vista but these errors were under Window logs>Application

I don't know why Nero was mentioned because I was not using it.Quote:

UG, I have the same problem, however I have both Vista and XP on the same machine and both crash when I watch videos. XP however does it less often. I narrowed down the culprit to Nvidia, but in my case I don't know if it is the motherboard (I have a 780i) or the video cards (8800GT x2).
As far as I know, the 650, 680, 750 and 780 chipsets from Nvidia had lots of problems. I am waiting for prices to go down before I upgrade to a 790 which is much more stable (and DDR3).
Updating drivers for both (chipset and video) reduced the amount and crashes, and I have been working with almost no crashes for 5 months. The other thing that I realized, is that it crashes when I load more than one video, so for example, if I have a playlist, when after the second video it might crash in the middle of the second, or third. To solve that I use Windows Media Player classic, and I close the software before I open a new file. (WMPC opens really quick)
