Sometimes when I start up my pc and the Windows 8 loading screen comes up, (That purple screen that says loading and the dots going in circles) I know that there are going to be some stuttering problems whenever I watch a video (Youtube, MP4) or play a game. Restarting is a temporary fix that I do but it comes back afterwards. Is there a permanent solution to this?
View 8 RepliesMy cpu usage reaches 30% whenever i watch a youtube video. why is this happening? should it be using 5-10% at the most?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI've had a problem for about a couple of minutes and nownow it's gone.
I watching a video and suddenly the pc restarted and booted to motherboard screen and then restarted again, this time it booted to Windows logo.
It did this twice and then I hard shutdown the pc.
The light of the power button indicating that there's power was off.
So I unplugged the 24pin and 8pin power cables (corsair ax850)and connected from another power supply I had (gigabyte 500w) just to see if there's power coming to the board and the light was on.
So I plugged back the corsair cables back and the light was on again. I turned the pc on played a couple of games on it and everything was back to normal.
Could this be a cable issue or motherboard socket issue?
I've just installed my Windows 8.1 and ran into a little problem that keeps me away from using Windows 8. So, as I try to watch any video on Youtube (or anywhere else) or downloading few programs after 2-5 minutes of video or download time the internet disappears.
I've tried disabling Firewall, play with other settings but nothing works at all. After the disappearance of the internet I have to restart my PC (because without restart Troubleshoot seems to do nothing) and run Troubleshoot. It says that my Wi-fi is shut down but I skip this one, because my internet is on cable. So then I get another "Problem found" and it says "The Ethernet adapter is disabled".
I'll start with my system specs:
Motherboard: Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3 (don't really know the rev on this one)
GPU: ATI Radeon 6770 HD 1 GB, original clocking on 850 mhz
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500 3,30 Ghz (No OC on this one)
RAM: Team Elite 8GB (2x4096MB) CL11 1600 Mhz
HDD: 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM SATA 6Gbit/s
Sometimes, not very often my windows 8 stutters and making every program that im running on the computer lag, it is 4 significant stutters that's driving me crazy, i just made a complete reformatting and a clean install of the operative system and it still occurs from time to time.
The operative system is "Windows 8 Pro x64" without Media Center.
It's an acer aspire v5-573PG, specs are
Intel Core i7 4500U (1.80GHz)
8GB Memory 1TB HDD
NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
I have had this AWFUL buzzing sound accompanied by what seems to be a frame or so of lag when playing video games, watching Youtube videos, or watching windows media player videos. It sounds like the buzzing sound when you get a blue screen of death and it occurs about every 30 seconds. It comes through the speakers and I have tried different earphones to no avail. I found a youtube video showing the EXACT same sound I recieve!
Url....
It's the buzzing sound about 3-7 seconds into the video. My buzzing / stuttering is nowhere near as severe-at least not yet. In fact it seems to have started about week ago, very rarely I was hearing some static while watching youtube videos but it wasn't much and I figured it was from the headphones. I've been having all kinds of problems with my disk and memory usage. I've had some programs hogging outrageous amounts of my disk such as windows protection and now periodically, windows modules installer worker. Something is wrong. This should be a powerful laptop more than capable of handling basic idle windows. Even when I have just firefox and windows media player open.Is something like windows media player supposed to take so much of my disk? I have updated everything I can including my graphics card and the sound drivers.
This is what I get from sfc /scannow
I have installed windows 8.1 pro . when I watch YouTube videos and remain inactive for a while then screen gets dimmer and then turns off. I could understand when nothing was done then screen would go idle but the video is running and screen turns off ...isn't it frustrating? so how to keep screen alive while watching YouTube videos but it should turn off when pc is inactive(other cases when video is not playing) ..

View 6 Replies View RelatedI partitioned my hard drive and installed a second copy of my Windows 8.1
I like to experiment with registry settings, tweaks, etc so I use the second installation as a guiney pig, leaving my primary copy untouched.
My question is how to I get the second copy listed on the graphical Boot Options Menu? Right now, I have to press [ESC] on reboot to select it in BIOS settings.
audio and pointer stuttering. As far as I know I haven't changed anything on my computer that may cause this but seemingly randomly this error has sprung up.
My audio glitches up at 10-20 second intervals, (sometimes even 2-3sec) and simultaneously my mouse stutters. I have tried updating drivers, and have googled but nothing has worked. This error occured around the same time internet shopping extensions were added to my google chrome without my permission, but I cannot recall which happened first.
Naturally I have run ASC and AVG as well as Malware bytes, basically all the anti-virus software I have, but this yielded no results.
I have looked in my services tray and discovered that vsmon.exe has a far higher CPU time value than I expect it to, but other than this I can't find anything unusual.
The stuttering has made using my computer frustrating, and it bothers me that a brand new laptop is wigging out. Prior to this error the only other problem I've had has been a random system crash which while scary, seemed to be fixed by a system restore, but what caused it.
When I play a video file or watch a video on YouTube the video stutters for a second or two then it play normally.
I checked the windows task manager and saw that the cpu spiked up to a 100% and one of the drives did the same thing, the drive itself(wd green) is inserted from the front drive bays of the case (haf-x). I've updated the drivers. But it still happens.
Windows 8. Occasionally, my computer just stutters (freezes for about half a second) several times in a row, ranging from about 6 to 10 times in a row. Literally everything will stop and freeze during that moment; the screen, sound, mouse, my friends even report that my mic input stutters. This happens about once every hour, usually a bit less than that.
It doesn't matter what I'm doing with the computer when this happens; Playing games, watching a video on YT or just on the desktop, doing nothing.
I've done a few recent changes a few weeks back too. I replaced my NVidia GeForce 470 with the NVidia Geforce 660 Ti. I had also connected my sis' laptop's HDD around there as well, when her laptop broke down.
I've done a SFC scan and I've updated my NVidia drivers multiple times.

OS: Windows 8 Enterprise 64 bit
VCard: NVidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti
RAM: 2x 4GB DDR3
CPU: Intel i5 760 @ 2.80GHz

A demonstration of the problem in action, and additional details about the problem and my computer are in this video:
View 5 Replies View RelatedI experience heavy video/audio stuttering when playing a video or general latencies when downloading a file when connected via LAN/Ethernet NOT when connected via WLAN/Wifi. According to my observations the stuttering only happens when the LAN network driver is somehow busy, which means preloading the video or downloading a file. As soon as the video is chached/loaded or the file is downloaded, the stuttering disappears. So in my opinion it is definetly a driver problem.
I recently updated the LAN driver due to suddenly occuring BSOD. The update fixed the BSODs but now the stuttering appeared. I already tried to switch to other versions of the driver or even use just the Windows driver, but the problem doesn't disappear.
With updating the LAN driver I also updated all the other drivers (BIOS, Soundcard, PCI, Chipset, etc.) because my system was a little outdated. Everything works fine and in games (like Borderlands) everything works like a charm. Just when the LAN driver is busy the CPU has a 90%-100% load. The process causing the CPU load is in these cases not Chrome, it's the System process according to the task manager. Another hint that the driver should be responsible.
The Graphic card is up to date and running on the latest beta driver from AMD (tried the normal driver too, no difference).
LatencyMon showed me that ndis.sys is causing excessive latency.
Malware Scans are negative with Malwarebytes and ADWCleaner.
So as a summary: The problems started when I updated my drivers! But I can't go back to the state before cause I don't have a backup and the restore points already got overwritten by current ones.
What I updated: Practically almost everything that was outdated - used SlimDrivers.. maybe wasn't the best choice..
I remember:
- Chipset driver (not 100% sure but a lot of Intel drivers)
- SATA AHCI Controller
- Various system drivers like:
--- Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family PCI...
--- Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series-Chipsatzfamilie - Thermosubsystem
--- and a few others
- Audio Realtek driver
- PCI-E-Gigabit-Ethernet-Controller Qualcomm Atheros AR8151(NDIS 6.30)
- Broadcom 802.11n-Netzwerkadapter
What I tried so far:
- Try to go back by restore points --> didn't work
- Deinstall virus scanner --> didn't work
- removed all apps from startup --> didn't work
- tried to identify the causing process with process explorer --> the process causing the cpu load was either system or chrome, but chrome not to much (30-40%) so I guess its driver related..
- tried to switch back to the old drivers by installing the vendor drivers from acer --> didn't work (maybe there are some drivers missing that I updated via SlimDrivers)
What I found out so far:
- The latency and lags don't appear with Wifi/WLAN --> Just when connected via LAN/Ethernet
- The latency and lags appeared after the driver updates --> So nothing to do with malware
- The latency and lags are caused when streaming videos (only in the time when it's loading/downloading) and when downloading bigger files and probably also when loading a website, but not that strong --> So to sum up: Always when the LAN/Ethernet is busy
My LAN card:
PCI-E-Gigabit-Ethernet-Controller Qualcomm Atheros AR8151(NDIS 6.30)
Current driver: 2.1.0.16 from Microsoft
Tried 2.1.0.21 from Atheros too.

I got a new video card, namely the Sapphire Vapor-X R9 280X to replace my old (broken) video card, namely the Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 Boost.
The problem is that I get no video signal when linking my new video card. The vga-led on motherboard turns on red (normally never) .
I thought my motherboard is broken, but then I tried the video card (Radeon HD 6950) from my brother and he just shows video signal. (vga-led turns not on red this time on motherboard) .
I would also say that on the box of my new video card is a 750 watt power supply recommended, but I only have a 600 watt power supply build in my pc.
I would like to use an extra partition in order to install Windows 8.
I already have XP and Windows 7 x64 in dual boot and can choose the OS using the arrows keys.
If I install Win 8, I will en up with the win 8 GUI at boot.
Is there a way to avoid this and "downgrade" to the old Dos presentation, and let me choose the OS using the keyboard up and down key.. ?
I have recently been having the BSOD come up while i am watching films or occasionally just using my laptop, not quite sure what caused it as it only started about 2-3 weeks ago, i have tried restoring it from previous start points saved on my computer but it still happens, I have followed the instructions required and have attached the appropriate file required.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just got the BSOD while watching a movie. I had this problem even while gaming, but seemed to be solved by lifetec. Today I got another BSOD while watching a movie. I just made a rar file with a mini dump file into it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI bought new computer parts in January and was having several BSOD issues with Windows 7. I decided to reformat using Windows 8.1 and had not had a single crash up until about 2 weeks ago. It started as a single crash. Then another a few days later. Now I'm to the point where I get several crashes a night.
Crashes tend to happen when watching videos, but has also occurred as soon as Windows finished loading from sleep or restart.
I purchased a new hard drive this evening thinking that my hard drive was the issue, as it was one of only 2 parts I didn't upgrade when I upgraded my computer (though I did reformat my HDD several times after installing the new hardware). I installed Windows 8.1 on the new HDD and installed Windows updates with no issues. But shortly after I got another couple of crashes. I cleared the new HDD and put it back in the box since the hard drive wasn't the issue, so the crash dump files I'm including are from the original HDD. I got 2 crashes on the new HDD before clearing it, and the error messages were similar to what I was getting with the original HDD. (KMODE)
It happens when i watch vids in youtube, downloading things by IDM. ( Internet Download Manager )my pc just freezes alot when i do these thing.The errors file is attached down.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried to watch downloaded .avi movies with Windows Media Player, and the video quality is very poor, can see blocks and artifacts everywhere. When I watch the same movies with VLC, it is clear. I think it is a codec problem. What is the best codec to apply to Windows 8 Media Player, so we can watch movies clearly?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I watch Youtube, I get Blue screen randomly.
Also, I found that choosing sound quality 24 bit, 24000 HZ, instead of 24 bit, 192000 HZ seems to alleviate the problem.
But, as an audiophile, I would like to still set it to 192000 HZ.
When watching videos on you tube in full screen, it will leave to normal screen in one min. My drivers are up to date and system do not show any notifications for updates. This problem occurs irrespective of any browser and full screen exits on anything.

I get the WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR 2 or 3 times a day. I found this mainly happens when I watch videos embedded in websites or browsing the steam store (when you browse a game there are embedded videos that play automatically in steam).
I'm having severe playback problems with the Video app. Whenever I try to play any video from my PC (avi or mp4), it just freezes on the first frame while the audio continues. If I try to skip it will eventually play properly for 2-3 secs, but then go blocky and freeze again. I've tried playing videos that I rented from Xbox Video, and they play perfectly. All videos also play perfectly on both WMP and VLC. Is it just a very poor app?
I am also having trouble viewing any flash video content in IE10, both Metro and Desktop. Youtube will not play any video in Fullscreen; even at 480p, playback is jerky, with an almost "strobe" like effect on movement. When I was using Vista, IE would quite happily play Youtube videos at 720p in Fullscreen with no issues. If I try to play the front page video on Vimeo, the whole page freezes up. There is no option to disable video acceleration in the flash menu, so I am at a loss as to what else I can try. I have upgrade my graphics card from 256MB to 1GB in the hope it might make a difference, but it didn't. Have just downloaded Chrome and can play Fullscreen 1080p with that no problem.
I was wondering if the two issues might be related? I have looked and looked for Adobe Flash settings all over Windows 8 but can find nothing.
My laptop has been crashing regularly and very often for about a month. Happens most of the time when I open a new webpage on chrome, or a video plays in browser - and I get this error displayed: Attempted Execute of NoExecute Memory.
I suppose this is a driver problem - this became a menace ever since I tried updating my video and audio drivers from the HP Website (Using a HP Envy DV6 7245us Laptop). I've tried reinstalling the drivers but it didn't solve the problem.
The laptop is new - bought it in September. Worked fine. Ran virus scans - nothing detected (I use BitDefender).

RAM: 6 GB

When I am listening music or video (in IE (like youtube), Winamp, WMP...) after the random time (minutes or even hours) the volume goes down to about 15% and Windows Volume System Tray App shows this (two markers at music playing app):

It reminds me radio mute in car, when there is incoming call to phone hands free set... ). I have some shit PCI-E X-Fi standalone sound card connected by "HD-Audio" (9 or 10 colored wires) cables to computer-case's "front-media-panel" (mic and headset connector). Maybe this connection is bad.
I recently bought the parts for this computer and have assembled it. I have updated all of the driver that I am aware of and have even updated the BIOS. My computer crashes whenever I try to watch youtube (especially if they are embedded in a website). Also, I recently purchased a computer game and I now get the error when starting that game. This has never happened with any other game until now.
I ran the intel processor diagnostic tool and my processor ... FAILED
