Evening all,
I recently had to swap out my mother board and GPU due to a spill incident. I decided to upgrade my GPU at the same time, and got an equivalent mobo to the one I fried (the fried one is no longer manufactured).
There were no problems with booting up, drivers were installed and updated and things were running smoothly. However, when I watch videos on Youtube, and Steam videos will NOT play well enough to watch. Buffering is not the issue as it is always buffered ahead by minutes.
The picture stops for 1-60 seconds at a time, sometimes once a minute, other times a faster stutter. I've reinstalled Flash, reset my bios to factory defaults, reset GPU to defaults. I've used different browsers and increased virtual memory size for all drives from ~8gb to ~12gb.
None of this has helped solve the problem. I am not sure if this is a problem with AMD Catalyst or MSI Gaming App. Can anyone assist? Specs below.
