Not sure if anyone has come across this before but I am having problems playing video files (either in IE or winamp / wmp etc)...

Basically the system grinds to a halt and 100% cpu usage occurs (although from task manager you can't tell what is hogging the resource).

Done a bundle of AV scans / Trojans but nothing appears. I have also forced WMP uninstall and tried a later version. (Also tried this with winamp / Quicktime) but nothing..

Is this a known virus or problem??

Thanks Steve
 
I should do ... as I reinstalled all the core programs. I did also try one of the those "all codec" things but it made no difference.

I don't get an error telling me of an unkown codec ( e.g. mp4) but it just grinds to a halt and kills the pc.
 
Tried both of those - no difference..

Changed gpx drivers ( just in case ) nothing...

wierd thing is that no process ( other than task manager ) is showing as holding the CPU - so can't really tell whats going on...
