    This problem just started yesterday and I have no clue what is causing it. Up until this point I have had no problems playing anything back. Currently, when I play 720p x264 files, typically rips of TV shows, at any given point the screen goes white or gray, with a random mix of colored lines across the screen. The curser turns into a block of the same lines, usually gray or white with lines across it. It happens in wmp, wmp classic, VLC and every other player I've tried. VLC runs choppy on 720p playback to begin with so I prefer not to use it, but up until now wmp and wmp classic played it beautifully. I tried switching to the CoreAVC professional codec based on something i'd read in a few forums, and now everything runs like garbage. Even my standard 624x352 Xvid rips are running a bit jumpy now. I've uninstalled coreavc and went back to the K-lite pack which worked great before, and it just doesn't look right. Is this a codec/software problem, hardware or what? Any and all help is insanely appreciated. I'll attach a picture after it happens again

  3. Looks like videocard might be overheating (and/or your CPU), or a driver conflict issue

    Check your temps, try updating your drivers

    I'm not sure which drivers to go with. I have a feeling it started with a windows update which possibly changed the driver. What is best for my graphics card?

    Nvidia system monitor is reading my gpu temp at 65c and speed fan is reading my cores at 50-60c. I can't find a straight answer anywhere if this is too high or average. This is while sitting on a cooling stand (although not a great one - just a little rocketfish single fan job that keeps it from melting my lap).
