Never had this problem until I updated my Motherboard and Processor. Went from a MSI Mil Spec Board with a 3.0 Phenom II Proccessor. To a MSI 990FX Motherboard with a AMD FX 4.0 Processor. All the other hardware remains the same, so I know its something to do with the Motherboard and/or Processor. Funny thing is everytime I bring it up to anyone in Tech Support they always blame the Video Card or the Memory.
How this problem occurs:
Only seems to effect Xfinity On Demand through the internet, everything else works fine, I can play games for hours on end, on Ultra High Graphics, while watching Youtube Videos, and Movies, in Simo, without problems. The second I load a Movie from Xfinity, 30 minutes to an hour into it, I get a colored screen resembling a flash of a frame from that movie on both of my monitors. Solid, doesn't move or quake, I can still hear the movie playing in the background, there are occassion losses of sound but its like its buffering. I have to do a full System Reboot, Ctrl + Alt + Delete does not respond. Neither does senseless pounding on the keyboard during Sticky Key or any response from the Warning Alert System to activate.
Things I have tried to rectify the problem:
Talked to MSI Tech Support - Lot of help.
Uninstalled then Reinstalled three versions of the NVIDIA 970 GTX SC Drivers. Including 1 Beta Driver.
Ran FutureMark / 3DMark to try to duplicate the effect (Nope, solid).
Reinstalled Windows 7 - 64-bit, really annoying but still didn't work.
Updated to latest BIOS Driver... nothing, for 15 minutes I thought I might have to get a new MOBO.
Reset the CMOS via the Jumper, and by removing the battery. Still nothing good.
Reinstalled the Sound Drivers
Reinstalled Motherboard Drivers
Reinstalled Codex Drivers for Media Player
Reinstalled DirectX Drivers
Can't duplicate the issue with Netflix or Chromecast, it happens on both as well. I just find it strange I can play Youtube without a hitch of an issue, but i try to play a Movie on a Reputiable Site, and Boom! Crash.
Remind me not to pay my Comcast Cable TV Bill next month if I can't get this solved, I'll just spend my money on the Internet, and use the money I save watching Movies on Renting from youtube...
Anyone have any ideas, cause I am fresh out, and wondering why I upgraded my Motherboard and Processor now.
