MY Geforce 6800GT died yesterday you I upgraded to a 7800GS. I first uninstalled the older drivers and downloaded the latest drivers and installed those after swapping the card. All of my games run fine but anytime I try to play a video whether it's on my HD or online the CPU goes to 100% usage and the video never plays.


I uninstalled Divx and installed a newer version but that didn't help either.

I have an AMD 3500+, 2 G of ram, Windows XP fully updated.

I get no errors or anything when I try to play videos either.

Have you tried deleting the video card from device manager and then rebooting? That be my first choice.

and make sure you run a windows update after you reboot and install the drivers.
