Media Player Issues to Black Screen

Hi, I can watch videos in media players half of the time without crashing. It happens on several players, including VLC, Divx, Windows Media, WM Classic. What happens is I can watch the video (sometimes all the way through) but it randomly Garbles all of my graphics, including the mouse pointer, then 5-10 seconds later the screen goes completely black and I am forced to reboot.

I have an 8800GTS 512, Windows Vista Home premium service pack 1. I have tried 3-4 x64 nvidia drivers and this problems occurs in all cases. I can watch youtube videos forever and no crashes, same with games including TF2 and WoW.

Any help is appreciated, I've googled for a solution for hours, and most related to mine are from early 2007.

Thanks alot
