Just finished a new build with Windows Vista 32 bit version.
System:
Intel e6600
Intel D975XBX2 Motherboard
2G Corsair DDR2 800MHz
Sapphire Radeon X1950 Pro Ultimate Edition
I'm getting the Blue Screen in about 5 secs or less with a Xvid, Divx, or Mpeg 4 movie. I tried ffdshow and also the latest Xvid and Divx codecs.
Vista is reporting (after reboot) that I upgrade my video card driver, but I'm using the latest 7.2 Catalyst Driver.
Everything else seems stable including games like Oblivion.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE:
I finally discovered the problem.
It appears that my motherboards SigmaTel Audio Drivers/hardware are to blame.
I currently have the sound hardware disabled in the bios and no bluescreens with any type of move file.
Now that I discovered the problem, I'm having a hard time trying to solve it. I tried the latest sound driver from Intel with no success. I tried a couple of other things suggested elsewhere on the web.
I'm theorizing that the audio drivers are somehow corrupt in the registry. If so I may have to call Intel and get a suggestion.
From what I gathered on the web Vista handles audio differently than XP.
At this point I really don't want to re-install Vista 32 unless I have too.
Once again I'm asking for help.
