I got exactly the same problem here The computer don't work after some time viewing Video and its even worst with DVd playback (cant watch more than 20 minutes) The problem seems to be an overheating from the Graphical chipset (ie Intel for me not NVIDIA) The processor doesn't overheat (45-50°c with SpeedFan), when video playback it doesn't use more than 40% UC but when the overheat occurs It peak to 100% and the taskmanager doesn't show any anormality The heat come from the chipset

Since I ve uninstalled the Creative webcam Drivers AND disabling the webcam after I have no more blue screen But i still have my processor occupation problem (i think this one is linked to the Intel Graphic Driver)

Details: The memory Dump (with Windbg) seems to focus on the OA001Vid.sys too (like in the Chinese post) file which is part of the Creative Webcam Drivers I use the last available version (1.2.2.603, A01, 12/08/2008) I unistall the drivers from Windows Management console (with unistall driver option), let Windows Vista install the standard drivers. I made a local reseach the OA001Vid.sys is no longer in my system directory. Wait and see... Message Edited by Desfarges on 10-16-2008 09:15 AM
