XPS 730 freezes when playing any video - Code FF on motherboard
XPS 730 Dell Computer always freezes when I run video through windows media player, or iTunes, you tube, Netflix. The Board code is always FF after it freezes. Everything is frozen so I have to hold the power button for a hard shut down. No BIOS Beeps. It restarts fine. videos starts no problem but eventually freezes. Can leave the computer on for a week with no video running and no freezes. can't run video for more than 30 minutes before the whole computer freezes. Put a brand new 1GB Gforce GT 610 in. No change - still freezes.
