| 826438 | 2009-11-02 03:23:00 | XP-Pro - SP3 and all . 1 . 7G Athlon XP, 2G RAM . Soyo MB (Ultra Platinum, SY333) PROBLEM: Sound and/or video playback has stops-starts-repeats and blank spots . In Power DVD it does the same thing . The action stops as does the sound and then it starts where it left off - most times when it acts up, that is . Playback in WMP and RealPlayer, etc, all do the same thing . Music can stop at any place and restart or stutter and hang up, but usually will chug through the whole song - even though it has a hard time . There is no pattern to the failures . It may happen at any time it feels like it . The hdd light on the front of the case blinks furiously as the playback struggles . That's why I thought it was a bad hdd and installed a new one . If I soft reboot, it seems to resolve for a short time, but it really doesn't seem to get any better that way . Cold boot in the AM or after hours off-line may or may NOT make it appear or act badly . I tried a large powerful fan blowing into the open side of the case, but that didn't help . Cleaned the CPU and re-heat sinked it . Tried off-line, shut down my security and nothing is any better . Checked Task Manager, and there's no real problems I can see . No spyware according to HJT and several scans produce NO negative results . Killed several operations in Task Manager and still it hangs up . If I load a DVD (commercial or otherwise) into the optical drive, it too hangs up just like files on the hdd . Parts changed: Two new 500G harddrives Video card Audio card PSU (500watts) Help! |

| 826439 | 2009-11-02 03:55:00 | Id say driver. You could try downloading klite codec (www.free-codecs.com) I think that solved a similar problem I had on an athlon xp. Otherwise update sound drivers. |
