Win 7 BSOD when playing video files

[Kanan]

My friend is using some video files which we wanted to see. It was working fine But today when we tried to open it didnt start. I tried using different players but it still didn't worked it just gave me the BSOD whenever trying to open video files. He is using Windows 7 & videos working fine in my computer even i am using the same.

Any Suggestion will be appreciated..!

I had similar stability problems at first. I just bumped up my SPP voltage a notch and the problems went away. Not a single bsod after that.

Can you post the BSOD info please? These often contain offending module names or error codes that can be researched.

Check your graphics card manufacturer's website for the latest
Windows 7 compatible drivers for your card?

What application are you using to open the video files and does this happen with any video or just some video files; with what types of video files are you having this problem?
