@metal005 it's not a hardware problem and it's not a compatibility issue.
Here are my test results:
1)) Enabled Motion2 but was eating 90% of CPU so I turned it OFF
2)) Enabled and disabled Best Quality in playback opt. nothing changed
3)) Enabled Force Video Overlay and every time I start Splash windows switched to win basic (turns windows AERO OFF). Played several video files and there was no shutdowns.
4)) Disabled Force video Overlay and immediately windows crashes.
Conclusion: to me looks like Windows Aero and Splash Pro are not working well. I will continue to use Force Video Overlay, but will be nice to have Aero when using SplashPro. Tell me if you have plans to work this out
