Video freezes computer Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 11:33 am Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Johnny Tidwell (12 messages posted) Sound problems Dell GX520 XP pro Dell GX 280 3 gb RAM, Intel dual core 29992 MHz. Dual boot XP and Win 7. When I try to open a video (AVI, MPG, etc) the computer freezes up. I can't use the mouse or keyboard so I have to use the on/off switch to reboot. The multimedia is onboard OEM but it doesn't even list a video card, just SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio (Dell OEM Sound). Video plays OK on the system in XP. Wondering if I need to upgrade the video card or find drivers? I installed a new hard drive - Seagate 1TB and now I can't get the sound to work. I checked device manager and it tells me "The device is working" on all of my sound codecs and devices. I tried downloading drivers from Dell and Intel but nothing happen Responses to this message: re: Video freezes computer (Rich Kurtz: Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 2:18 pm) re: Video freezes computer (Rich Kurtz: Sunday, February 8, 2009 at 5:34 pm) re: Video freezes computer (tmtm2: Monday, February 9, 2009 at 5:43 am) All messages in this thread [show all] Video freezes computer (Johnny Tidwell: Sun, Feb 8, 2009, 11:33 am) re: Video freezes computer (Rich Kurtz: Sun, Feb 8, 2009, 2:18 pm) re: Video freezes computer (Johnny Tidwell: Tue, Feb 10, 2009, 5:21 am) re: Video freezes computer (Rich Kurtz: Sun, Feb 8, 2009, 5:34 pm) re: Video freezes computer (tmtm2: Mon, Feb 9, 2009, 5:43 am) re: Video freezes computer (Steve: Mon, Feb 9, 2009, 6:43 pm) Reply or follow-up to this message Search this forum Start a new thread on a different subject Report abuse of the forum Return to the Windows 7 Discussion Forum
