Hi
I hope someone will be able to help me out with the problem I've been having, I'd really appreciate it.
My windows 7 (Acer Aspire x3990) PC was having problems with installing Windows Updates, it failed to install any updates for 2 months, which caused the PC to reboot itself when it entered sleep mode. I contacted MS about the issue and they sorted out the update problem but not the problem I am hoping someone here can help me with - the first time the PC rebooted itself, was while I was watching a movie on my TV with MPC-HC, while connected to the PC via HDMI, and this has now caused the PC to reboot itself anytime I use MPC-HC while connected to my TV. This does not happen when I use the monitor, which is connected via DVI, I can use MPC without issue.
A little more info about the problem, when it's connected to my TV, I can use MPC, but the PC reboots itself after about 6 minutes of playback. I was able to use Power DVD without issue, but after a few days this also stared rebooting the PC during playback. Again, this does not happen while connected to the monitor. I have tried to update\reinstall the HDMI drivers and update the graphics card driver, reinstall MPC, but this did not help. I tried another HDMI cable, but had the same issues.
Last thing to add, I can use the VLC and Windows Media players while connected to the TV, via HDMI, without issue.
I am not too tech savvy, and I have tried to google for info, but haven't found anything that helps
Thanks in advance!
Will
