Hey guys, I've got a customers machine in here that hardlocks after watching videos for a while. Yes adult videos, right now we have a machine in the corner constantly running porn until it freezes, kind of fun actually, but back to the point. We've tried near everything, swapped out the video crad, cpu-burn for a few hours, memtests fine for hours, windows up to date, crashes with wmp 9, wmp 10 and VLC player too. Installed K-Lite's codec pack and it still does the same. I'm thinking it's codecs, but I'm not too sure how do get down and dirty and find out which codec is giving me problems. Any ideas? Codec cleaners that I can use to start from scratch?
 
have you tried playing something besides porn. If not try that, if it works with normal vids tell the dude to watch it on his damned TV. And this customer wouldnt happen to be you would it?
 
Nope, I don't pay $75 an hour to have my porn fixed. I do it myself at home :). I'm pretty sure anyone else who's done time at a computer shop knows the fun of fixing other people's porn for them.

Anyways, i tried a different codec pack and tried watching some Aqua Teen vids, still no dice. What another codec pack that's worth trying?
