okay, before i get started here's my system specs:
750Mhz Duron
Abit KT7Raid Mobo
256Meg Crucial Ram
6 Gig WD HD
Asus V7100t GF2MX w/ tv out
SB PCI 128 Sound Card
Linksys 10/100 NIC
Win XP Pro
i don't think i'm leaving anything out (i just got this computer from a buddy 2 days ago, so I'm not super familiar with it yet)
Anyways, my problems go something like this:
I bought this box off of my friend to use in my living room as a Divx/VCD/Mp3 box. I put my old GF2MX in there, cause i've used the TV-Out on it a ton, and it always worked fine. I put the new Detonators on it (40.41 i think) cause i read that the nView2 has alot of stuff to kill the flicker on tv-out. The computer is running just fine..except movie playback. I have tried watching DVD's, divx, vcd's, and even some music vids i ripped of MTV2. They will NOT play. They won't play on the monitor, or on the tv, and i have tried WMP, Global Divx Player, and PowerDVD. The movie starts to load, and before i even see a picture the program locks up. I'm really puzzled about that one. I'm wondering if i need to install any via updates or bios updates or something along them lines.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
--update:
I flashed the bios to the most current version, and i just put the new via 4.42 4in1's on there, but still no luck.
any video i try to play will start playing eventually (after anywhere from 3 seconds to 4 minutes). The video will play for about 3 seconds, then it takes about 10 or 15 seconds for the video to buffer and resume playing. These aren't videos i'm trying to play from the web either. I have an mpeg and avi (both around 40 megs) sitting on my hard drive. I'm hoping this helps someone narrow in on what could be the problem. I'm messing around with bios settings now, but i haven't got anything solved yet...please help!
THANKS IN ADVANCE
