Hi, I have a problem with my g73jw, thats a bit odd. See i can play bf 3 very fluently and on high settings. No problem. But i cant play a simple movie without getting a whole lot of trouble with it. The movie starts to stutter, the picture gets pixeled, frames start to lag behind, frames start to "slide" into eachother, the color changes, the sound skips. These problems occur very frequently, like every minute or so. Basically its a mess. So how is this possible? Is there a fix? I would be very grateful for any help.

Are you Streaming the movie through a browser? Or are you running it through VLC, WMP, or other locally installed program?

if i play from the hard drive i get the porblems described above, if i stream from utube and such i dont get a problem with the picture however frames are skipped quite often. In other words if i watch a video on youtube there can be a jump in like 2-3 seconds ahead. Sound keeps playing, just the picture that freezes then resumes 2-3 secs ahead... odd?
