    Has anyone ever experienced this when watching a video on hdmi output at 1920x1200 resolution? I've always get video freezes randomly when using media player classic. I thought it was a codec problem but I tried many different version of klite codec and the problem still persists.

    I've tracked the temperature of the cpu and graphic chipset during the movie playback but they seem to be fine when the video freezes. So this shouldn't be overheating problem. Could this be a graphic chipset problem or a driver issue?
