Very Rare Computer Problem (HELP!)

[Lucifer Crass]

Okay, for some reason about 30minutes after the computer has been running I can no longer
-Cut/Paste
-Drag/Drop
-Play Media Files

When I try to play WMV - AVI etc etc files it has 3 error messages that pop up one after another.

Pop up 1 =
Header - Windows Media player Error
Text - The RPC server is Unavaible
You can only click close.

Pop up 2 =
Header - Windows media error
Text - Cannot perform operation low memory.
You can only click okay

Pop up 3 =
Header - wmplayer.exe - Application Error
Text - The instruction at "0x591c28e9" reference memory at "0x521e4e70". The memory cannot be read. Click okay to terminate program
You can only click okay
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now this is the error while trying to drag and drop from a WinArchive

Pop up =
Header - WinRar Dianotic Messages
Text - Drag and drop operation failed, could not find the file specified.
------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly When I want to copy and paste text I can copy but when I try to paste, it acts like I never copied anything. This makes browsing very hard. I dont know what this is. HELP!!!!!!!!!!

My System Spec
Windows xp
512 Ram
2200 AMD Athlon
Radeon 9800 Pro
nForce 2 Chipset

Text - Cannot perform operation low memory.

That probably explains it all. Go out and buy more ram.

Either that or your memory could possibly be damaged/defective.

 

[Lucifer Crass]

It seems more like a system malfunction or virus. It happends around the same time everytime. It also never used to do this.

 

[Cutey_Kaite]

its either your ram is damaged, or your ram is a really crappy bootleg

You should run memtest, and then if that doesn't give any errors then reformat.

 

[Lucifer Crass]

how do i mem test?

 

[Maxi]

google for memtest, its a program.

Seems similar to some problems I was having prior to reformatting. After a certain amount of time cut/paste drag/drop would cease to work, WMP9 just wouldn't open, but I could still play media files through Winamp's player...

You have anti-virus? Turns out it was a virus that was causing mine, I had no trouble detecting it, but getting rid of it was a task =/

Look in the Task Manager if the SVCHOST.EXE is there. If not - format C:\ and reinstall windows.

Moved.

 

[gh0st]

well you definately dont need more ram, it should not take more than 512mb of ram to run friggin windows media player. yeah something is severely wrong though, i'd reformat.

 

[Lucifer Crass]

svchost is there. Its running as a local service.

i think his memory is leaking... that would explain the 30 minutes b4 he gets these errors

Could be more specific, like how u got rid of it, or at least the name of the virus?
