Hi.
my problem is that when i play divx movies ( happend also in sim city 4 , i dunno if relevant )
the video freeze and the sound keep's repeating the last half a second , and only hard reset works , no ctrl + alt + del , nothing , it doesnt always happens , ive tried bs player wmp , wmp classic , divx player , gdivx and almost all other players , change the codec's like a 1000 times , downloaded all the latest drivers of the software ,
im runnin on winxp pro sp2
amd 64 3500+ 2.2 venice proccesor
gigabyte k8 triton mother board
radeon x700 gfx card
1.5 giga ram
2 160 wd HD's
and extigy 2 zs
if you can help me with this problem it would be great , just got this comp , and its a shame that it doesnt work well.

first off, uninstall all 'codec packs' that you may have put on your system.
then, download & install the latest 'ffdshow' (the celtic_druid version) from http://www.free-codecs.com
then play your files :)
does this happen with all avi files?
also just to be on the safe side, check your pc for spyware/adware/viruses...

thank you for the recomendations , done them.
yeh it happens with all of avi files and sometimes mpeg , untill now the computer hasnt froze yet ,but still sometimes the film repeats a second for 3 -4 times and then continue.
thanks

i dont think this problem is related to the codec
sounds more like chipset/overclocking problems
