[Vr_]

Ive been having this problem for a long, long time now, and I havent been able to figure out whats going on. I searched google on the topic and nothing really helped. Then I found this place and was hoping some one might be able to shed a little light on the subject....

Basically, No matter what im doing - I'll get a BSOD and at the bottom will be this watchdog.sys forcing me to reboot.
Now it only happens usually when Im watching videos. Lets say Im on youtube, and Im looking at a long video so I'll start to fast forward by clicking the bar with my mouse. Now, every time the video starts to change color like the RED/GREEN/YELLOW/BLUE lines you see on TV when the TV station isnt in use or the station is down - thats when I know my computer is going to lock up and then give me a BSOD w/ that watchdog.sys error.
(usually before that happens i'll go to start menu, turn off computer ==> reboot and that will fix it, for now)

It doesnt happen when im playing video games, It just seems to happen when ever im playing video with any type of player be in xvid player, vlc, windows media player, online: youtube, hule, etc etc.

I was thinking it was a virus at first but all malbytes and avg scans came back negative, so im not really sure what it can be. Was hoping someone would be able to help me fix this problem. I would be very grateful. I had to make a lot of cut backs in this economy so now my computer and hulu is the only source for TV now instead of cable =\

Thanks again
