Hey all, I'm having a frustrating week. I installed a barand new Phenom II 940 a few nights ago, and this screwed up my DRM files for my TV card and Media Center, story short, I wound up formatting and reinstalling.
But now I have an even more frustrating problem. When I use Media Player, or Media Center to play aufio files, or streaming audio, the whole system progressivly locks up, sound stops, dwm becomes unresponsive, and finally a little later the mouse finally freezes. there's no blue screen, no reboot, no nothing but a complete deafening silence that something has horribly failed.
All my drivers are up to date, system specs are as follows:
Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 (AMD NB770/SB600)
AMD Phenom II 940 (Stock settings ...unfortunatly)
4x2GB G.Skill PC8000
eVGA 8800GT
Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Music
Avermedia m780 TV tuner
2xSeagate 7200.10 RAID0 SATA2 AHCI NCQ
1xSeagate 7200.9 JBOD AHCI NCQ
1xSeagate 7200.7 PATA
All being governed by Windows Vista Ultimate x64
As I said, prior to this reinstall, no problems, I reinstalled Vista last night, everything was back up to date, and that probelm started, this afternoon I reinstalled again! everything back up to date.....problem didn't go away.
There's no way I can blame the CPU for this, it seems to software oriented an error for that, I would thing the CPU would rather splash me a BSOD before just progressivly freezing everything.
Anyway, any help/thoughts are much Appreicated
