okay, now i have an amsingly annoying problem all of a sudden, and i cnt figue out the problem.

my specs:
AMD athalon 64 3200 (754)
Gigabyte k8ns (Nforce 3 chipset)
512mb DDR400
160GB SATA hard drive
Powercolour 9550SE
sony dvd rom

The problem:
when i want to play a vedio clip, weather it be online streaming, or from a disk or hard drive. my pc restarts itself with no errors or warnings.
I also can not reinstall ANY video drivers(even from the disk) i get the error: 'zero display service error'
I also get the error 'can not emit shader system' (or something like that when i play games) this error was for hl2.

What i have tried:
i have tried a reinstall of my drivers including the mobo ones, but no luck, and with the video card it has that error.
I have tried to fing new codec but still no luck.
I have tried playing using all sorts of media players but STILL no luck.
please help or will i have to send it back to the shop so it can be RMA'd

Heyyo,

well you see the prob with hihi is he tends to just flame...

anywho, kissmass, let's get this ontopic shall we?

Hmm, you mention taking it to the shop.. did you recently get these upgrades? if so, you'll probably have to reformatt windows. Window is pure crap when it comes to detecting and properly using newer equipment compared to other operating systems. Heck, with my linux I could slap onna new motherboard n' cpu n' it'll detect those n' reconfigure the os all by itself to work great... anywho, so yeah, if you changed your mobo, or cpu, you'll probably have to reformatt windows to get those properly working again. You could just try uninstalling your mobo drivers, along with your cpu and usb, network adapter, internal soundcard.. so anything that's built onto your mobo, get rid of those drivers, restart windows, n' hope their plug n' play works decent for them... I highly doupt it though dude, it coudln't work right with me cpu upgrade last time, had to reinstall windows. With windows n' upgrading, it's more of luck that ease of use.. too true, lol. Heck, even me vidcard with the broken vga port worked flawlessly on Linux as Windows disabled my dvi port which worked fine since that's the current port I'm using.

Sounds like a driver issue or BIOS mess up to me...

Any new drivers? Tinker with the BIOS? What did you do the day before this started?

PC's are like fine European sports cars...they just need a lot of care and tweaking, sometimes they go crazy.

k watever kissmass just ignore people who don't like to help others. I'm sure me along with other people in this forum will help others with technical comp. problems as this is for halo PC, anyways just to keep the buggers off u just say in ur posts, "oh ya nad Halo PC won't work", obviously if ure computer won't work, then u can't play Halo PC, and if u can't play Halo PC, then that IS a serious problem, just make any questions remotely associated with Halo PC, like no Xbox tech. questions.

Hihi, you needa keep your head down. You are not the best, most of use here are more experienced than you. don't bluff, dont insult otherd when they obviousy know more, dont flame, and you should be fine.

have you got norton antivirus? once i ran a scan, and it deleated something in the system 32 folder. i thought to my self, 'that's strange' and tried to shut down my computer. it told men that the program THijbtg8N85BH7jln was not responding. i clicked end task, and my computer shut down.......after 1/2 an hour. it didn't start working again untill i reinstalled windows...

CS-S is my life right now. And, well, some people are more mature than others ;)

I do think it's a BIOS related problem, but good point it could be a missing string entry, maybe even a messed registry entry. You didn't run a reg-cleaner or ccleaner registry fixer did you? That can equal instability.

Heyyo,

CSS.. oi how I loathe it. I play CS 1.5 more. CS 1.5 was perfect. CS 1.6 was ok.. CSS is well... too easy. I liked how in CS 1.5 and 1.6... I had to like, AIM before I shot at someone to hit them... and how my guns had lots of recoil like real life guns.. and how I had more than 2 models to use, and how my CT model diddn't hav horrible clipping issues on both shoulders and diddn't look like a football player... also, on CSS... is it just me, or are all the 1st person gun models like, more cartoonish? the assault rifle feels like a squirt gun cause it's soo short.. lol.. I can't wait for custom CSS models to come out, will at least make the game look more decent.

HI!!
sory abtt the delay, been caught up with crap.

wel anyway, i just reinstalled the mobo drivers and it worked. thanks neway.

about hl2 and css, i have had them since the day they came out, but after i completed hl2 in abt 4 days i could never get bored of the miltiplayer games.
i mean the ending was really crap to the game and wasnt as gd as the original, but they hardly ever are.

Well anyway, hl2 comes with counter stike source and hl2 deathmatch.
now css is my fav. but wen i get pissed off i love blowing the crap oyuta peps in hl2 dm and u get to kill peps with toilets. :D
well neway... this has no relevence to halo, soo....masterchief
