I've got the same thing happening. I have a Dell Dimension 3000. No
PCIe or AGP slot so I bought a PCI GeForce6200. It works great with
Vista, but it freezes my PC when playing media. Even through DIVX
player it freezes.

I recently installed a Geforce 6200-OC graphics card into my HP m7067c,
replacing my Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express onboard chip. After it's install,
I noticed that both live and recorded tv locked up my computer after a few
minutes. After I installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA website, it
only got worse. Media Center would lock up before any picture was shown, and
the same thing happened when I tried playing the DVR-MS files through Media
Player 10 or when I tried watching a DVD on InterVideo WinDVD Player. I
bought the NVIDIA PureVideo MPEG Decoder (and have it set as default through
the decoder utility) with no change. When I ran the Media Center Diagnostic
Tool, my computer had no fails or warnings.
Is there a setting that I'm missing with my new card? Do I have to live with
the older drivers (and therefore older controls and settings) to watch videos
on my computer? Could it be the card itself? Although I wasn't able to find a
list of MCE-compatable graphics cards, others are using lower Geforce cards
with no performance issues. Several other threads have had discussions on
this problem (although with slightly different circumstances) and none of the
solutions provided seemed to work except for using an older driver.
