Lately I've been having video/video card problems that I can't seem to fix.
First, whenever I try to watch a video in full screen, be it streaming or one saved to my hard drive, my computer will freeze. Sometimes it happens within 30 seconds of starting the video, sometimes I can finish the whole thing, but it happens enough to be a pain. (Full screen games run fine and do not have this problem, only videos).
Second, my video connection will randomly fail. The monitor goes black and says that it doesn't have a signal (the same thing it does if you turn it on when it is not plugged in to the PC). It doesn't seem to be related to any specific action either.
In both cases it doesn't seem that the card is overheating and I've also updated and reinstalled drivers with no luck. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy.
Specs:
8800 GTS 512MB
Q6600
8GB RAM
Vista 64bit
(nothing is oc'd)
