Ok What video card?

@wolfi323

I would suggest to try setting another video output device in VLC’s settings.

Though if no videos play and VLC is even crashing when trying to play videos, this indeed sounds like a graphics driver issue.
So as gogalthorp asked, please tell what graphics card and driver you are using.

My video card is " Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller [8086:0166] (rev 09)" I think? Driver i915.
Also I would try that but I can’t even open VLC without a video - the program won’t start at all, it just crashes straight away, even when started from the application menu.
