7800 GS problems playing Movies


I upgraded my video card from a 6600GT to the 7800GS. It plays games great! Temperature stays fine and all settings on high. However when ever I open up a movie or video, Windows Media Player gets stuck at "Loading Video". My Cpu usage shoots up to 100%, and my monitor will start flashing black every 10 seconds or so. I can't Ctrl+Alt+Del the media player or anything. It basically freezes up my computer completly and I have to do a hard restart.

Has anyone experiienced these problems, or does anyone have any suggestions to fix this?? Upon system startup I get a little pop up from my Nvidia Control Panel saying that an SLI Video Card has been removed and the system has switched to non SLI mode. Does this have anything to do with it?

I installed the 91.33 drivers and that fixed the little SLI error on startup. Hoewever, I still can't view any videos. Streaming videos through a website are fine. But any videos I try to load from my Hard Drive cause my CPU usage up to 100%.

I have tried my Creative Jukebox Media Payer also. It does the same thing. i am going to download WinAmp and try that right now.

I tried Winamp and it does the same thing. On another note, videos that people have on say Myspace sites, also do the same thing. So it isn't just videos that I have on my hard drive. For some reason YouTube videos do work though.

Try disabling your anti-virus.

Try using VLC media player. And it has nothing to do with your VGA drivers.

Yea, VLC uses it's own codecs seperate from the rest of the system. If that doesn't work there's something seriously wrong. And regardless i would still try changing drivers, try one of the 8x.xx drivers.

Well, I reverted to the 84.21 drivers and that fixed all of my problems! Thanks for the help. I guess the 91.XX drivers are crap.
