Hi guys, well on Monday I received my new Asus GTX 680 Direct CUII which runs any games maxed out, it's pretty freaking awesome. And today I decided to stream some Netflix, everything was fine until it suddenly froze. I thought it was just a once in a while thing, booted right back up and continued my episode (of Southpark) and bam it froze again. I've updated Silverlight to no avail, I can't seem to find a solution. Anyone have this problem before? (Upgraded from a GTX 650 which had no problems)

I think that it may be an issue with silverlight (from MS) and Netflix using silverlight to maintain media rights. I had to fix silverlight in using Netflix (and MS support is very unhelpful) running in Win 7. The particular version of silverlight you are running may be the cause of the freeze. Unfortunately I have forgotten the correct registry entry that you have to fix in order to get this to work.

Oh ok, so it may be a problem with Silverlight? Well thanks, I'm going to look for any more info on that. Thanks.
