So I build a computer a few months back. Had to redo the Windows installation when I realized the SSD wasn't on AHCI. Running a 2-drive system caused more problems than expected. VLC 2.0.6 had an audio problem, so I had to revert to 1.1.9. Partitioning steam games took some time.
BUT, there was one thing that shouldn't be a problem that persisted. Youtube drops frames massively. I look at the video info, and 35~40% of my frames a dropped consistently, making EVERY video unwatchable. Bringing it down to 240p helps only marginally.
I've done loads of troubleshooting already. Entered HTML5 beta, but that doesn't load the videos at all. Can't even load ads. Flash 11.7, disable hardware acceleration. Disable Firefox 21.0 hardware acceleration. Once again, only marginally better.
Basically, every 3~5 seconds the video just freezes, holds on that freeze frame for about 2 seconds, then resumes, skipping past those lost 2 seconds. Audio is running flawlessly for that entire time.
I have all the latest Catalyst drivers for my Radeon 7870 XT. Nothing in my rig is outdated.
What could be the problem?
