Blue ray issues

[shadow_warez]

hiya everyone =) just got myself a blue ray/HD player for my comp, and im wondering if my system justisnt powerfull enough to play movies and 3d games at same time? heres the specs,

1, evga 680i ultra mobo
2,intel Q6600 3.0 ghz quadcore
3,2 gigs xtc sli mem
4, 8800gt 640 mb nvidia
5, pc powercooling 1000wat psu

basicly im trying to watch movies on my HD monitor on the side while i beta test games, and regular games like wow, cod 4, fear, dod source, and it seems to always crash within 4-5 seconds of both running, im considering the 9800 gtxX2 video if this 640 mb card cant handle it, any ideas?

I don't know the answer but the Intel Q6600 is 2.4 Ghz not 3.0.

I would think that your system should be powerful enough... probably down to quality of the video card & drivers - are u on XP or Vista? Also, you might be able to tweak the CPU settings i.e. Affinity, set cpu 1-2 for Games, and 2-4 for Blu-HD.

What mobo did u use to unlock the FSB on the q6600? (i've got that chip and just cant do anything with my p35-ds3)?

Your rig definately has the capability to run it. I have an intel duo 2.5 ghz mobile cpu and geforce 8400 grfx card, and it will play blueray fine. I had problems with PowerDVD first version of blueray player, new version works alright. Sony laptop come with a WinDVD version, and that works great, better then PowerDVD. There a new version of WinDVD you can get that will play Blueray as well.

As far as your games crashing thats more driver/software more likely to cause those kind of problems, try a clean install of windows and latest drivers..
