P-7805u video lag

My p-7805u seems to lag when I watch a DVD or stream netflix. And it gets more noticable when I make the video full screen. So I ran traps during a DVD and it was fine at 50 foe for a few secs then dropped to 7. This happens with other players like netflix and other sites. But the DVD is the biggest drop. With netflix it just lags for a sec then continues happening a couple times a min. It's not Internet related because I can see it has a several min buffer on it. No other programs are running in the back ground. My gf just bought a vaio with intergrated graphics and it plays all of this flawlessly. Any thoughts because I'm tired of her teasing me and my supposed power house gateway. ...
Also I have it plugged in and on performance power setting.

 

Check your fans on cpu and gpu. Or try to find a different driver. I'm using 185.26. No problems. There's got to be a reason. The card can easily handle way more intensive graphics than a movie or video.

 

Updated drivers and tried a few make no difference temps are all normal. I can play games for hours and it's fine what else could this be?

 

a lot of people have this problem. including me. the solution i think lies in going to the nvidia power settings in powermizer and/or the hard drive settings and leaving it at 'always on' or something to that effect. there was a thread discussing just that. search.
i did not apply those settings as although it does solve the problem, people reported higher temps.

 

Did you install any codec packs?

 

No I have not but I don't think thisbis where the problem is. Seems to be a increase ofnpeople with this porblem latly.

 

Do you have a link for that info tried searching for it but can't find it.

try this app to disable Powermizer and see what happens. I get a lag when scrolling in a browser and some video lag if it is enabled.... when i disable powermizer it's gone. Give it a shot.

 

i have lag during avi videos as well
im using ffdshow codec
anyone else having problems with this codec?
solutions?

 

I had this same problem and I went into the video decoder configuration and under Avisynth I checked buffer back/ahead and hit apply. After I did that it was smooth sailin.

 

Registered just to say thanks, I bought a Gateway P-7805u last week and this issue has been driving me nuts (I haven't installed any audio/video codecs). I turned off Powermizer when on A/C, and full screen videos work like a champ now. Also, I had this problem on Vista x64 and also Windows 7 x64 (RC, Build 7100) and the Powermizer application worked in both scenarios. Thanks again for this thread!

 

I have this problem but it's mostly on flash videos. .avi and .mkv 1080p/720p/dvd rip movies play absolutely fine but when I go to youtube/revision3 or some sort of HD flash player the framerate drops horribly. I've updated my drivers, and even flash still no go. I'll try the powermizer though.

 

hmm thanks for the info
im goin to try that

 

How did you turn off Powermizer? How did you find it in the first place and does the FX series have it?

 

so laptops dont come with powermizers controls?
i need a seperate program to turn it off? why?
