Hi folks, the below is my spec that a friend of mine built for me in
November last year, the problem is that i cannot get DVd films to play
on my new system. DVD discs are recognised but will not play through
Power DVD,WMP, Real Player etc. I have numerous DVD Disc games
installed so it is nothing to do with the drive or anything.

Spec:

AMD Sempron 2800+
Abit KU8 Motherboard
Seagate 80GB Sata HDD
2x512 Kingston Memory
400W Power Supply
PNY 6600GT 128mb graphics card
LG 16X CD-RW/DVD-ROM

I have tried installing all sorts of codecs and decoders but nothing
has worked yet. As far as i am aware, i have no conflicting drivers
installed causing this problem, i suppose i could say the only video
drivers i have got installed is my NVIDIA graphics drivers.

The DVD gets recognised and goes to WMP etc, but when i hit play the
system becomes unstable and does not play the video. This also happens
with streaming and videos on putfile etc.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me here, it's really
starting to bug me .
