Lockup playing AVI file with pivoted display
My 2002-vintage computer has a recently-installed CPU and LCD display.
The computer locks up with the display pivoted 90 degrees via irotate.exe while playing AVI files using Nero ShowTime, producing a medium-high-pitched sound. The lockup seems to happen only when the display is pivoted. Nero ShowTime is the only program I have which will show AVI movies while the display is pivoted. The last time this happened, CPU temperature was 43 degrees C and CPU utilization was about 30 percent. I reset the computer to recover from these lockups, only to find that CPU hyper-threading is disabled until I restart Windows, which runs very slowly, and then restart the computer and Windows again. Does anyone have suggestions about how to stop this lockup while the display is pivoted?

I don't think you can get to this point in Safe Mode, but it might be worth a shot. I'm guessing that you have a driver conflict between the video driver and Nero. And either going to newer or older drivers (both Nero and/or video drivers) might be the way to go. You could also try that Performance slider under the Display Properties as well. As that would probably fix it, but changing the driver(s) version(s) would probably be better if possible. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Thunderbird v3.0 Centrino Core2 Duo 2GHz - 1.5GB - Windows 7 |

Have you looked in the Entechtaiwan forums ? I would expect your Radeon 9000 to work, at least a bit better than some of the integrated Northbridge graphics. ATI and Nvidia cards usually have the best feature support (stuff just works). http://forums.entechtaiwan.com/index.php?board=9.0 I'm intrigued by your "medium-high-pitched sound". That could be coming from a switching converter circuit, but exactly which one, and why, I can't tell from the symptoms so far. ATI might have a rotation function in their software (CCC), but depending on when driver development stopped, it might be broken by SP3. And irotate can't do any better than the CCC software, because irotate isn't rotating the image itself. (There is some rotation software, that actually recomputes what the image should look like, and displays that instead of the original image, at some cost to GPU or CPU performance.) http://forums.amd.com/game/messagevi...threadid=96189 "Need help on how to rotate monitor(orientation of display)" http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...-04ac30ec3642/ Paul |

"Remember when the first Radeon came out. They (ATI) were found to have cheated and tweaked their drivers to do extremely well on benchmarks, but in reality, sucked at other real world applications?" Why I think ATI sucks and won't buy their hardware if I can avoid it http://www.techimo.com/forum/graphic...can-avoid.html And a simple Google search will show zillions of other people who don't buy that neither company has such great software either. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 702G8 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Windows XP SP2 |

So you advocate integrated graphics only? No... I have computers that has either or. And when integrated graphics doesn't cut it, I use dedicated graphics. But to be frank, most computer tasks works just fine with integrated graphics. While I don't have any of these, there are hybrid computers that has both. And I find this very interesting. And when graphic demands becomes too great for integrated graphics they switch to dedicated graphics. -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core Duo 1.83G - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |
