This strange thing keeps happening from time to time, sometimes weeks in between, sometimes within the same 15 minutes.
The preface:
When a movie (NOT ANY OTHER MEDIA FILE) reaches it's credits, I tend to close the media player like everybody else would. In Windows Mediaplayer (6.4) I don't bother with the STOP button before tapping the little "x" to close the entire thing, in PowerDVD I do before hitting the EXIT.
The thing:
Machine reboots instantly upon closing either media player.
NO PROBLEMS WITH THE MOVIE ITSELF OR THE SOFTWARE, PLAYBACK WORKS PERFECTLY, ALL PROGRAMM FUNCTIONS DO.
The Background:
Win2k latest SPs and Updates
ASUS A7N8X-X Nforce 2 Ultra 400
512MB Kingston approved.
Athlon 2600 (no overclocking /tweaking whatsoever)
Windows Media Player 6.4 or 9.0 (tried both on different installations), PowerDVD or WinDVD (-"-), BSPlayer, necessary hand-selected video codecs and filters (no codec packs or such suicide stuff)
Nero Suite 6
What I've heard so far from ppl I told my story:
POSSIBLY Nero ver 6.x.x.x.x Suite, as it contains the highly problematic InCD or Easywrite Reader (...?)
POSSIBLY the sometimes buggy "Web content" preview window in the Win2k Explorer, which shows little thumbnails of pics as well as movies (...?)
POSSIBLY chipset drivers (done, up to date 'n running)
POSSIBLY codec messup (nope as I am a professional in that matter)
