I've been having this problem for about 2 months now... it will sometimes play a video, but the majority of the time it crashes. It also crashes when I try to play Exteel and League of Legends. And it's crashed when installing a few programs (most recently with iTunes). At first I thought it was a virus, as it started happening shortly after a friend used my computer to browse the web and turned off noscript. Eventually I gave up on that train of thought when I was unable to find it with conventional free anti-vir and anti-malware programs. I was about ready to make a clean start of it anyway, so I backed up my data, wiped my HD, and reinstalled my OS (Vista Ultimate). On a clean install, before plugging in a flash drive or an external HD (which I reasoned could lead to the previous infection if it was viral), the problem was still there. I have an SLI set up (two 260s), so I figured since the problem seemed to mostly present itself on video play back and gaming applications, I'd try to use each card individually and see if there was a problem there. No dice.
That's where I'm at now with my problem. I'd appreciate guesses on what it could be and suggestions on my next course of action... I was going to run a MemTest next...
