Michael, I have seen this happening for (stupid) reasons as having a browser 
running! 

Try this:
Boot the box fresh and try to run VLC, preferable with known good video 
file. 

If you still have problems, then boot the box with a live CD, install VLC 
and try again. 

If that one fails too, please publish the output of 'lspci'.
