Bit of a curious problem here. I've recently been tinkering with my system, overclocking etc and when everything seemed stable i decided to upgrade to Vista 64bit.
Up until last night i was fairly sure the system was stable, until i played a DVD using windows media centre. After about 20 mins the PC froze and i had to use the reset button to reboot. I then tried a DVD again and after a while the screen instantly goes green and garbled and freezes. yet again i had to reboot using the reset button.
I assumed this problem was hardware related at first. But i've been playing games on the system without fault, to test its stability i've now run 3 burnintests which were completed with no faults and ran 3dmark06 without fault. I've tried windvd but unfortunately it doesnt seem to work with vista and dvds are unwatchable due to aspect ratio issues.
My temperatures seem fine when using speedfan and as previously stated i can run a burnin test with no faults. I've tried disconnecting one of my dvd drives and switching the IDE cable to a different socket on the motherboard but with no luck.
I'm stumped.
