codec packs are known to mess up your filters and codecs if u do encodes. Almost all encoders avoid them.
Try using players with built-in internal filters and codecs.
TheKmplayer
VLC
GOMplayer
are a few good ones.

Ok this solution is pretty much very akward. But i used it when my PC was acting like this.



1. Install Winamp
2. Have it running (or the Winamp agent app)
3. Somehow, i've tested this at several computers, you can not shut down or reebot your computer whilst winamp or/and winamp agent is running.

This was quite the problem for me before i discoverd it was winamp who forced me to kill my computer thru pullin the cable :P

Yeah very odd solution but works nice if you like Winamp.

Some times it happens that FireFox take a lot of RAM (it is usually a FF bug)
& RAM exhauts which results in rebooting....i used to have similar issues but not of FF....i reformatted & now my PC works for like 10 hrs a day....& no rebooting...
