More than 2 videos open in vlc = instant computer lockup

[aspartame]

Hello

So for whatever reason I have a tendency to have a video playing, pause & minimize it, forget about it and open another. Repeat.

However whenever there's more than 2 videos paused in the background and I open another one my PC instantly freezes and I have to shut it off. Sometimes I can ctrl alt delete and end task (which takes forever as there's an insane amount of slowness and lag at that point).

Doesn't matter what type/quality of videos are involved they could be the lowest of low quality videos.

More than 3 versions of VLC open with any sort of video = instant frozen PC.

I have an AMD A4-3000 APU ( don't use the onboard graphics) a Geforce GTS 7300 card (w 512 ram) and 3.25 GB of ram running XP SP3.

Could it be my PC? I'm running the latest version of VLC.

Thanks.
