    PC freezing when playing DVD's

    Hi all:

    This problem is driving me crazy.

    A few weeks ago I thought I had solved the problem instaling the directX SDK august2006.

    However this has not solved my problem.
    It freezes when playing DVD's or AVI files, no matter which player I use, WMP, KmPlayer, WINdvd etc.. etc...I have to re-starr with reset button.

    Any more ideas about this problem ??

    hilario.

    Look in your Event viewer: rt. click My Computer then click Manage then Event Viewer.
    Or: Administrative Tools/Event Viewer or Start/Run/ eventvwr
    Open the system as well as the application tabs & look for red X errors. Click error line for details.
    Post back the source & event id & Description especially of errors that seem to coincide with this issue.
    Also check the Information lines that might coincide with this issue.

    Ok if I understood you right I have to reproduce the situation and check on the event viewer what kind of error it gives me .Right ??

    Most Of the errors I had yesterday are related to my HP printer.!!

    Yes. Let us know if any error/s coincide with a freeze.

    Just did it.

    No error is reported with a freeze, which makes me think this has something to do with
    cpu heating.

    Someone gave me a suggestion to have a look at my CPU and see if its clogged with dust.

    This was the first thing I should have done.

    will take a look a.s.a.p and will be back with results.

    hilario.
