    everytime i try to open a .ogm file my computer resets. when it restarts it says that it has recovered from a serious error. so i send in teh error report and it says that it was caused be an unknown device driver failure. i know that teh file isnt corrupted because it plays on my brothers computer. I have a program that plays .ogm files. i think i might be my 'video card', i put it in quotes becaused it is part of the motherboard. i was just wondering if picking up a new video card could fix this problem.

    Im under the impression this is an audio issue:

    I would make sure both motherboard drivers and sound card drivers are current. Making sure Directx 9.0c is installed may be good too. Let me know.
