quick question. Just wondering if anyone also experiencing the same problem as me. First my configuration:

Asus A8V Deluxe Socket 939
Just upgraded to A64 X2 3800+ CPU. Was single core 3400+ before

Nvidia 7800GS AGP
Nvidia NVS400 PCI
(This totals 5 DVI and 1 DSUB outputs hooked up to 3 HD projectors and a 1080p lcd and a crt)

4 GB DDR400
Western digital 120 gb main HD
2xMaxtor 30 GB Raid0
Sony DRU-500A DVDR


My problem: after the upgrade to x2 CPU any time I try to play xvid on the PCI desktop, the computer would crash. It would crash especially even faster if on top of playing the xvid on the PCI desktop, I copy files from DVD drive to hd or if I fast forward and backward the video.

Again, the problem is limited to video played on the PCI desktop. If i enable the PCI desktop but play the video on the AGP desktop and do some nonvideo things such as browsing internet (working on this msg right now ;), then it won't crash.

I have tried just about everything including new SP1, SP2, 64 bit SP1, tried dual core hotfixes, etc, PCI latency settings, etc, All nothing.

If i go back to using the single core , then it the problem of computer crashing with video on PCI desktop goes away.

Anyone got any suggestions or thought?

Sounds to me more like issues with Xvid than your setup. Has you checked online to see if anyone else has this problem on their setup?
