hey all!

recently i've been having trouble when starting to watch HD movies on my pc. i never had those problems before when watching any movies...

anyway - about 2 minutes after i start watching - the whole movie starts to stutter, then when i stop it and go back to the desktop - everything is super slow, and the physical memory usage is about 95-96%.

it takes about 3 minutes to go back to normal, after i close the player in which i play the movie with.
i gotta add that im not having any other memory problems whatsoever, including gaming.

WHAT TO DO?

specs:

4 gigs of RAM
sapphire 4870HD 1Gb Vapor-x
phenom II 920 2.8Ghz X4
Asus M4A78-E Mobo
windows 7 ultimate

i did
no help

another thing i just noticed -

if i just click on the file of the movie - not double click - just one click - the whole thing starts happening. the whole memory load comes from the windows explorer trying to load up the file to memory - as the little green meter start going up very slowly at the top of the windows explorer windows
