Windows 7 locking up while viewing videos

[havasu]

I'll attempt to run in safe mode to see what I can see.

 

[havasu]

Normally what I receive after the video locks up is:

"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered"

 

[Nick]

Does it play the video with out freezing ?

 

[havasu]

Sometimes it will play without locking up, and sometimes it locks up. it is not all the time that it occurs.

I'm running in safe mode right now. Naturally, it is not locking up at all. Surprisingly, without sound, it will only lock up about 10% of the time. With sound on, the computer locks up about 80% of the time. Many times, it will just recover with no error prompts (as if just a hiccup in the system) and other times, I'll get a fatal error / 700 (something) recovery. I highlighted this error and pasted into Google, and it states this is a common problem for those of us running Win 7. It even offered a fix, but it was lost in the translation. (yeah, I'm computer illiterate)

Naturally, in the safe mode, I could not get any of the 10 videos I watched to lock up.

What browser?

Did you try different browser?

 

[havasu]

It occurs on both Sea Monkey and Google Chrome.

Then why even have a stupid computer if I can't view my anatomy classes?

I tired the M/S link above, and it provided a auto fix for it. I allowed it to do its thing, then rebooted. Upon start up, I clicked on a video, and it froze for several minutes. I then got a blue screen with alot of words, but I read "fatal error", "dump windows", a timer, and some other stuff which I had no idea. It then went into a safe mode and I got a dark screen for several minutes.

It is safe to say that it didn't like what I tried, and thought for sure I would be shopping for a new lap top tonight. Fortunately, I was able to again sign in and don;t see any problems.

 

[Nick]

Is it still freezing ? Rest assure i wont post anything that will turn your confuser into a Paper weight .

 

[havasu]

Yeah, no change in my freezing, but at least it appears the lap top is working good besides the locking up.

 

[Nick]

We are not finished yet then . Will post another fix .

 

[havasu]

I wish I could post up exactly what it says after recovering, but lately it just starts without the verbiage. I know the wording would help you fix this.

 

[Nick]

Not to worry , I don't like being bested by a machine .
