Just installed 17 video playback gives audio error [Solved]

MC 16, PowerDVD, MPC-HC.

I mean it seems like a legitimate low voltage warning. I just have never seen one on this machine before now, when I just got MC 17 working. Thanks to everyone for use the same as, suggested above. That setting also got MC 16 back working.

MC 16 playing the same content does not cause the 12 volt line to drop. Nor does anything else. Beats me. Either there is sometihing in 17 putting extra load on the PSU, or there is something in 17 interfering with the intel utilites. If 17  is creating extra load it could be revealing a hardware fault that had not been seen before. I don't have any choice now. I will have to put another PSU in the box. If I continue to see the error. I have another GPU of the same type available. If I do both those things and the low voltage warning continues and only in version 17 we would need to look deeper.

I might get a meter on a 12v line and see if the intel utilities are correct. I can't imagine they are not.

The crazy part about this, the system only uses about 75 watts playing back HD stuff and that is total system with the Nvidia GPU going.

JimH:
I can't imagine how any piece of software could cause a voltage drop.  It could peg the CPU and the disk, but management of hardware resources has to occur much lower than the application level.

Please copy and paste to a new thread on the Hardware board here.  I'll lock this now and declare the original problem solved.  Let me know if you need it opened again.
