Finally finished building a HTPC for a friend. But upon testing, I found that when playing 720p youtube video, the video would freezes (while the audio keep play no problem). Anyone got any idea what I need to do to fix this? Cheers.

Mine does the same. Not sure if it's a codec missing but I couldn't sort it.. Ended up using a HD4350..

Win7 64bit...

The only thing I can suggest is make sure you have the very latest video driver from Intel. I have the 530 CPU and did a quick test and my playback is fine. How much of your memory have you allocated to the Video? In your BIOS there is an option to determine how much memory is shared. I selected the largest amount I could.

I'm using the latest VGA driver for the motherboard from the Asus's site. I'll have a look at the memory settings in BIOs later...hope the problem is really only to do with memory allocation...

Problem solved!

Apparently it was the Flash Player 10.2.152.26 having problem. Installed the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 instead and solved the problem!

Stupid Adobe Flash Player waste my entire afternoon to sort this out.
