Last night I was gaming just fine, no issues.

This evening I wanted to play a Youtube vid and it won't play, or plays terribly poorly.

Decided to rule out internet and play something on my machine. I click somewhere random on the timeline and it plays slowly and grinds to a halt. Click somewhere else again, same story. I can literally watch it slow down.

I've done a virus scan, I've updated Java and my GPU drivers, no luck. Rebooted a few times, same story.

This is the same no matter where I try play a vid, I tried on the Win7 media player, Chrome and IE.

No weird processes in task manager from what I can tell.

Any diagnostics I can run? I'm hoping my GPU isn't fried. Browsing and whatnot is fine.
 
Gah, I just fired up Dying Light and it's buttery smooth.


What could cause only my video playback to be so slow and broken?
 
Ok, false alarm.

I just rebooted my PC for the 5th or 6th time again and it's working again.

:confused:
