So heres my problem monkies, my computer has been acting up the past month or so when i try and play and audio or video files.
more specifically, when playing video files in Windows Media Player, VLC player, or BS player they have a tendency to just freeze and require a reboot. This problem seems to be even more apparent when you try and skip ahead in the video, usually it will put up with a few attempts to skip around before it just freezes up.
For the audio, the problem only occurs with iTunes. I seem to be able to play MP3s through winamp just fine, but iTunes exhibits the same symptoms as the video players.
This problem also extends to when i try and play games. the system simply freezes up and requires a reboot.
I dont really know what is going on here.
The only advice i have gotten was from a mac person who suspected maybe it was a backend AV issue with the operating system or something because it was happening with many programs.
anyway, all help would be greatly appreciated.
i know this isnt really the greatest site for this type of inquiry, but i dont know of any computer help sites. So if anybody could direct me to the proper site that would also be great.
