    On my Gateway P7805, when I put a HD video, such as a game review on IGN, on full screen, it would stutter after 50 seconds of smooth playback. I am really confused as to what is causing this. I have a T9600 and a 9800 GTS on this thing with all the latest drivers. Games and all run fine and I got 11,300 on 3dmark so its not a bad GPU. Any ideas guys?

    Are they flash videos? If yes, try to disable hardware acceleration in flash player. Right-click on a flash video, select settings, and you will see the option, just uncheck the box for hardware acceleration.

    It's not because the video is still loading, is it? Also, if the above post doesn't help, check your temperatures with HWMonitor.
