Blue screen of death

[kermit911]

My error:

Hardware malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
NMI: Parity check/ memory parity error
*** The system has halted***

This happens everytime I try to watch short video clips. Like the 3rd or 4th one, BANG Blue screen. Other then that the computer works great.

Compaq
Windows 2000

Any ideas? Thanx all

Sounds like some driver malfunction - have a look here as it seems to fit the message?

That is the message but that site is for windows xp and it dosen't happen and start up. It only happens when I watch short movie clips. Thanx for the effort though.

Thanx
Dave

1/ Have you got the latest Media Player?
2/ Could be a codec problem. More likely codec version than absence.
3/ Video driver problem. Have you got the latest version?
