Here is the situation.

Windows 7-64 on both a Z87 board and old IP35

Same player [latest jetaudio pro] and same MP4 [h264] video.

Video plays fine on the Z87 but I get a BSOD on the IP35 and the video gets blocky.

Only major difference is a 750ti vs a 8800gts.

Playing a video does not take that much power or memory so it should not be card related.

bluescreenview says: nvlddmkm.sys

Both are using 337.88 Nvidia driver.

It makes absolutely zero sense especially since the same video/player/GPU under XP played excellent and I never had any issues.

I only had to install the AC filter [for audio] on my Z87, no video codecs were needed.

I tried a handful of codec packs on the IP35 but they did not help.

I originally just installed the AC filter as it worked on the latest build.

Same video on the IP35 plays without issue using VLC but I like jetaudio better, been using it for many years.

Driver was installed clean, the only Nvidia driver since it's a fresh install of 7-64 on my core2duo.

Anybody have an idea?
 
Does the blue screen give what type of error it was? The memory addresses and error code on the blue screen would help to diagnose the issue.
 
The drivers are the latest.

If you turn off hardware acceleration would not that not make it worse and degrade it to software emulation?

The 8800gts is not a powerhouse but still has plenty of enough power, more then current Intel onboard.

I have noticed that 7 with aero and FF loaded it does consume way more memory then XP.

roughly 38mb for xp and 150+ for 7

The 8800 only has 330mb but easily passes the requirements.

From the 7 forums:

"There is no way to disable hardware acceleration with ATI or Nvidia driver's installed. You would have to remove the software and run a generic Windows driver to disable the acceleration problem."

I suppose I could try classic instead of aero and see if it helps, that would kind of ruin the whole nice part about 7 vs XP.

Hell, XP runs better on my old system then 7 does. 7 is sluggish.

Make what worse?

If by emulation you mean decoding, sure, but that fixes your problem so why not?

Huh? Don't touch that, just disable hardware-accelerated video decoding in the player.

Really? In my experience windows 7 is at least as fast as XP and 8.1 is faster than both on my C2D and P35 mobo.
 
I had a hard lock the other day, FF is slow to load up, usually a black screen for a few seconds.
I do have my E6750 clocked at 3200 and sometimes overclocks can mess with windows.
Going back to 2600 I'd really feel it.
Running a pair of ES.3 drives in raid1 which should be snappy but I am kinda disappointed benches are not better.
My 5 year old black drives pull numbers just as good
The ES.3's are III and my controller is II but that should not make much of an impact theoretically.

7 does require more power but my system even at 7 years old easily exceed the requirements so it should be fast.

I went with 64 bit which allowed me to actually finally use all of my 4G instead of having 3.2 which helps.


edit: the section to turn off acceleration in 7 is greyed out, it cannot be changed just as it was mentioned on other forums. With XP you can adjust this.

it would appear all things considered my 7 year old GPU is holding thing back even though technically it has plenty of enough power.

It still make zero sense why the same file, same player works with with XP and on my new system with 7 but just will not behave on my older system with 7.
