I'd guess the relevant errors are:

Code:
12:17:00 T:3292   ERROR: D3DERR_OUTOFVIDEOMEMORY
12:17:00 T:3292   DEBUG: D3DERR_DEVICELOST

Is there an option in your PC BIOS to set the amount of video memory? If so, try setting this to 512MB.

hi jhsrennie,

i find it a bit embarrassing that i did not see that my self! i must have been overwhelmed by the amount of information. Confused

i changed the setting in the bios - and now xbmc has stoped freezing Smile thanks a lot for your help,



Now i have a new problem (should i post it in new post let me know)

when i try to play mkv's i get choppy video. i get a cpu load of 10% and a fps of 22.5-24. (its and mkv incoded to 23.976 fps)

here is Mediainfo on the file: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/920029/

when i play it in windows with media player classic hc it playes without any problems. my xbmc video playback is set to:
  • dxva2 enabled
  • match video refresh rate

here is a fresh debug: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/920038/

any ideas where i should look?

br /B
