My computer is acting really strange please help!
Ever since I can remember my computer is freezing while watching movies.
I don’t know what the problem is or what it could be. Games seem to work fine.
I’ve tried:
installing all kinds of software for my NVIDIA Ge-force GT 420M
installing different kinds of Media players Such as:
Windows media player, DivX Player and so on.
My video card doesn’t seem to be overheated. It just freezes.. Sometimes using some media player.. Sometimes movies work on the one media player but not on the other…
It’s really strange to me…
Any 1 knows what is going on? Help please.
If, when using other things, the display is ok, then the graphics drivers are ok.
I would run superantispyware, & scan for Malware. ie Malwarebytes.
If you start task manager, then try playing the video, look at the list to see which process is causing the cpu to go high.
Another thing, to stop some services.
Run msconfig startup, then deselect some of the items. You don’t need things like skype, adobe updater, google updater.
Get rid of any extra tool bars
A thank you would be nice, if I have helped.
