VLC is crap, especially under x64. I dont use it. Try zoomplayer or WMP with ffdshow codecs (32 bit).
Can you try that and report if you still have a bsod? Then i can try to replicate.

About bios and drivers: 0403, forceware 175.16 whql (i use almost only whql drivers)

So far it seems like playing a HD 720p or 1080p x274 video in VLC Media Player is a better and quicker stability test then Prime95 on 4 cores...
At 8x480Mhz FSB i can run prime95 for a long time, but when i start a HD video i pretty much always have a BSOD within a couple of seconds or sometimes a couple of minutes. I have to increase the Vnb a lot to get rid of this problem at 475Mhz FSB (1.75v) while prime95 is stable at much lower voltages.
I was wondering if anybody else noticed this and if so if they have fix for it. Or if not, what MB BIOS and VGA driver are you using. So far i have tested under Vista x86 SP1 and XP x64 SP2 and there is no difference. I have also tested at stock speeds for my 8800GTX and with different 8800GTX BIOS version and even a modded 8800Ultra BIOS.
Re-install your drivers. There's no way it's your PSU. Last time I checked, Crysis + Prime95 > VLC player. VLC player works fine for me under Vista Ultimate 64-bit as well as Vista Home Premium 64-bit. If anything, it's the NVIDIA drivers!
