VIDEO CARD ERROR!! problems streaming videos.?

Question

i have a windows 7, dell inspirion computer, 64 bit. just recently i downloaded microsoft silverlight and now its difficult to stream videos, which really sucks because i have a subsciption to hulu. i did notice it lags on ads more than the actual tvseries/movies. but it still is constantly messing up and at one point my computer made a really loud noise and just shut down automatically. not sure if that corresponds with one another but at the time it did happen i was watching a video.
i also found this is the error and microsoft does not know how to fix it. figures.

Answer 1

If you installed the video card yourself check to make sure it int loose in its socket. For the "automatic" shutdown. It might have been a heating issue and it shutdown to protect itself. Check the temp of everything and make sure it is all cool with a program like Speccy, CPU-Z or GPU-Z. If that is still not it checking the drivers for it shouldn't do it bad. One more thing before you're done, Make sure its not Direct X (Run DxDiag.exe and/or make sure you have the latest version of direct x).



Hope it helps!

P.S You might want to perform these steps backwards so you don't fry your motherboard!!
