Well with that out of the way theres just to add that i have installed the newest edition of K-Lite codec, which includes Halli Mediasplitter FFDShow and FFDAudio. Well it should include everything i need.

Anyway when i start the computer and mediaportal starts to run i can watch somewhere between 20-40 minuts of video before mediaportal will freeze and stop to respond, i then have to ALT-CTRL-Delete my way out to the desktop, where i get a standard "Program has stopped working" message. I wondered if it could be heat, but every component inside the case is only warm, and speedfan tells me the system is 30-40ish celsius and the cpu are usually around 48 (the fan will automatic speed up if i reach 50).

So im pretty lost to what the problem could be, i got the newest drivers for both VideoCard and Soundcard. An i should think DirectX downloaded directly from Microsoft.

Sounds exactly like my system
And I'm just as lost as you are. Running SAF.

Logs.
Managed to play a avi-file yesterday, but a DVD (ISO) caused the usual freeze.

 

[Nihilith]

no one has any suggestions ?

 

[mariusau]

avi and mpg seems to be working

video_ts is also working. I think the problem lies in DVDs ripped to ISO.

I had similar problems before. The cure was to change codec.

 

[Nihilith]

I tryed to uninstall K-lite codec and install SAF instead, it seemed to work since i was able to play an HD mkv file for 1½hour. however the next day i it was back to normal. The memory on my gfx-card gets very hot, so maybe they arent working proberly, i have bought some heatsinks which i hopefully will get today. The reason they get this hot is bacause, ive installed a new fan and heatsink which works very well, but it only cools the gpu itself and the the vram, as the old coolersystem did. If this doesnt help, then it must be a software problem, since all other hardware is perfectly healthy.

Im curious Mr. Hipp what codec and video card and videocard driver does you use ?

I gave up and. Uninstalled everything but XP. Reinstalled MP + SAF. Systems seems to be working, for now.

I use WinDVD for DVD playback (you can download free trial). Card is an ATI 4350 with 9.11 drivers.
