So my C3 system hasn't gotten any better.
I assumed that it was a bad Windows install after having talked with a few people on here. So today, I reformatted and I'm still having the same problems.
Video files won't play correctly, the video jumps and skips, no smooth playback.
At first I thought it was just Windows Media Player being a resource hog, so I tried Media Player Classic and it still lags. I even tried YouTube, (Flash Player) and it too lagged on me.
Before the install, I also had a problem where upon booting, the PC would get locked in a boot cycle, as soon as Windows started, it automatically rebooted. I haven't experienced this since the re-install, but I'm still nervous it will happen again.
Also, the machine likes to lock up for no reason. At any point, doing anything, at any time. Again, this hasn't happened since the reinstall either.
This only started happening to me after my previous Windows install. Before that it worked great, the reason I reinstalled that one is because it was running a pirated version of Windows and I had to reformat with a clean version.
All drivers are installed and working properly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
