Media Players Crashing

[Helghast]

all my media players are crashing whenever I play a video.
Media Player Classic, VlC, Zoom Player, real player all!
I play something then +- ! minute it crashes with this message "(Media Player) has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." then I have to press dont send then it switches off. its very annoying I cant watch anything!

Does it happen on any and every media file? Is it restricted to only certain file types?

It could be that one or more of your codecs are corrupted - that would explain why things are failing in multiple video players; they all use the same codecs.

nope so far i've played mkv files and avi files and they crash. I tried deleting my media players and codecs and installing new ones.. get the same thing.
whats also weird is my Firefox is also crashing a lot
