dredd1963 14 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Morning all. I've been using a dell inspiron as a htpc in the living room, lately playback as been freezing with a kind of jaring noise in fulls reen, not just with emby but also with YouTube and Netflix aswell. Also crashes the computer. I am using the on board graphics. I think that the on board graphics/hdmi are the problem. Any insights would be welcome Thanks Edited January 22, 2019 by dredd1963 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dredd1963 14 Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 That's the first thing I checked luke, uninstalled and reinstalled them, the problem remained . Its a old Windows 7 machine, so it's passed its prime now, could barrow a graphics card and see if that would solve it. Or it be a Windows 10 curse/problem lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest asrequested Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm thinking your hardware is having problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dredd1963 14 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Agree its looks like a hardware issue, tried a graphics card and it crashed the desktop. The fans are spinning and the ssd seems to be OK (will test in another pc). Its also being a pig to turn on now. Just swopped sata port, so I see if that's the problem.
