In the last 2 days, when ever I play a video file using Media Player Classic, on extended desktop to go to my TV, the display driver keeps crashing, tried everything to sort it, removing AMD Beta drivers, going back to the latest stable release etc. nothing seems to sort it! Ideas?

I've been having the same issue using MPC! I use it to run a program called SmoothVideoProject, which converts 60fps video from file or DVD to 120fps.

When my crashes have happened though, once it did try to recover, then finally crashed to an artifact screen after the 'amd drivers have stopped responding and have recovered' message. I was also about to, or did open a youtube video in chrome whilst normally having MPC open at the same time. I'll probably make another thread though, as BlueScreenView gives me many different causes for several BSODs.

DVD's are 24 or 30fps though.

Not sure why is inserting false frames is a good thing?

Or any frame rate video to 60 or 120, slip of the tongue. Depends on what type of film/video it is and can be turned off or on, it isn't just inserting false frames, it's a whole software package that syncs the sounds and smooths out nearly all anomalies as a result of the added frames, leaving a smoother image. Their website homepage is pretty good at explaining everything.

Also, this

may have some bearings over your crash, as bluescreenview told me that some of my crashes were system driver errors. Looks like some updates have been causing errors.
 
Works fine still on VLC player, but I prefer MPC because I have it set up with Mad VR, LAV filters etc. so it can passthrough DTS HD master audio etc, VLC won't do HD audio?

Uninstalled the security update that was recommended but no difference, tried down tuning my overclocked graphics card.. will see if it helps

edit: still crashing D: no idea whats causing it.. will have to stick with VLC for now
