I have being using my old PC as a media pc and recently i have being having problems with the picture breaking up during playback.

I have tried old & new gfx drivers, clean install with only media player classic (latest build) & passkey installed and still have the same problem. I also have this problem with Powerdvd12 (latest)

Looking at gpu-z the gfx card temperatures during playback around 50 degrees. (using dxva)

Here is a quick vid to show what i'm on about (will probs be easier to understand)

Have you opened it up to blow all the dust and cobwebs out - just a thought (looks like a heat issue is all)

yeah i clean it out every 3 months or so mate. Could maybe a heat issue as it is in my bedroom which is a small box room and get quite hot. Case is a fractal design R3 which 2x 120mm Fractal design fans (blowing in), 1x Akasa viper on my H50 (blowing in) & 1x 140mm Akasa viper at the top (exhaust)

I have installed my old card and problem is still there, the only other card i have is in my main PC (5850) ... is it worth trying this as both cards i have tried are passive cooled.
 
think i may of found my problem, i ripped the same Blu Ray to my media server and streaming over my network looks to work perfect.

I only get a problem when playing direct from my Samsung SH-B123L Blu Ray drive so going to try another drive tomorrow.
 
Swapped the Samsung Blu Ray drive today for my LG drive and works perfect.

I tried the Samsung drive in my main PC and that also looks to work without any problems :confused: any ideas as to why this is?
