Video is not playing as it should

[sannitig]

Hello,

I have recently built a new pc which I am using for home theatre/everday use. I have an ATI HD 4250 on a gigabyte mobo. I am running an AMD Phenom II 855 @ 3.GHz with all four cores unlocked. I have Kingston value ram DDR3 1333 timed at 9-9-9-24...(bad I know)

I seem to have issues playing video files there are little flickers (horizontal lines) when I am wathcing a movie..mkv...avi..no matter. It's like the video isn't rendering all at once...it is very faint but I see it...it makes the video seem laggy at times...usually when the camera is moving around more.

At first I thought it was VLC and then the same thing happens when I play in winamp.

Can some please help? I have installed the Shark codec and still nothing. If I am in the wrong area tell me were to post and I will post there.

I was facing the same problem with my card recently, the card was not installed properly so, try reinstalling it may be it works.

I couldn't figure out if you had or not but I'd try connecting up to a regular monitor and see if this happens.

If it does then forget about frequencies and all that nonsense. Something is wrong with the GPU software or the hardware.

Do you have another PC you can put this graphics card in. Don't install any drivers just let windows do it's best and see if you get the same issue when playing back video.

As another test, it might be worthwhile loading up a computer game and seeing if you get similar display issues.
