Freezes when streaming videos

I have brand new MSI GT60 laptop with GTX870M ,i7-4800MQ CPU and 8gb ram.
There is a random 2-3 second freeze every few minutes while i am streaming videos(any site
CNN.com - Breaking News, U.S., World, Weather, Entertainment & Video News, youtube, etc). they don't play smoothly at all , they play so laggy. during this freeze audio does not loop
or freeze, it continues normally.
i have tried the following
1. i have updated all the drivers video, network, sound.
2. Tried a different browser (both Firefox and Chrome).
3. Used the killer cleaner and installed the pure drivers.
4. Tried the killer package from MSI support page, recovery disc and the version from Qualcomm site.
5. Gave up and installed a brand new windows 8.1 as a secondary boot, same issue.
6. tried disconnecting all USB devices and everything , still freezes.
Seriously i don't know what other options i have
This particular issue could not be a temp thing, since it starts right from the moment i switch on the laptop. Also i don't notice any lags when i am playing games or playing videos using some video player(BS player/VLN)
Its not an internet issue as well, videos would have completely buffered already but would still freeze.
Looks like a flash player issue, i have tried 3 versions of flash player (11,13,14 ) all have this issue, i just cant solve this.
What else can i do? Could it be a hardware issue ?

I did try different browser (Chrome and IE), both have this issue
I have also run some traces, uploaded trace files here

IN DJ 6/29...ETL by far the largest problem (by a factor of 2) is Firefox. I would tyr with extensions disabled and if it continues I would re-install it or use another browser.

Macbook pro - freezes when streaming video

my macbook pro ( mid 2009) - 8 GB RAM and maverick OS - freezes whenever i stream video in it .. it doesnot happen immediately but after 15-30 min
i need to hardboot it afte that .. then comes the funny part .. when i reboot usually i get the dreaded "flashing" question mark
so i need to do this to get back on track
1. reboot by pressing the "option" key and select the disk to boot from
2. then reboot again by pressing "command" + "option" + P + R - ( reset PRAM )
now voila back in business
this happened 2-3 times in the last 1 week
please dont tell me i need to change the logic board :-)
unless otherwise i stream video, i dont have any issues
( infact only 2 weeks back genius bar ran a hardware test when i took for RAM upgrade and found everything is ok )
thanks in advance
regards

The startup disk may need repairing ...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utillities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to acces the built in utilities in OS X Recovery to repair the startup disk.

Satellite A660-07U freezes when Streaming video

I bought a Toshiba satellite A660 07U 2 months ago.
From the beginning, when I try to watch any streaming video from Facebook,Youtube etc, my system totally hangs and keeps on making zzzzz....noise and I have to manually shutdown the notebook by pressing the power button.
This is happening very often now. I contacted toshiba support and the response was to change my microphone boost settings in Volume configure..:smileysurprised:.
Does anyone have any tips for solving this problem?

Hi,
Today this also happened while I was watching a movie on DVD.
The graphics card is NVIDIA and I have updated the driver for it.
Once it freezes I can't check the background processes as the whole system ceases to respond.
I don't think its a problem with the player as streaming video is sometimes played with WM, sometimes with Real player.
Toshiba claims this laptop is a special edition as a media entertainment tool with blue ray dvd player.
I am a software engineer and i do run heavy softwares like Visual studio and sql server database on this pc but never had any problem, but only have this freezing problem while playing video.

Satellite A660-07S keeps freezing when streaming videos

I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660-07S laptop just recently, from the begining it started freezing when I am using video applications, such as Skype or Youtube etc... The freezing happens randomly and the only way to get out of it is by long pressing the on switch(forced off). I returned the Laptop many times to Toshiba authorised technician and we have done almost everything from Reinstalling software and operating system, replacing the mother board, graphic card, memory etc... and the problem is still happening. The laptop is great and does the job very well except for this random freezing which is very annoying and has no way of explaining why it is happening.
I am thinking maybe there is a flaw in the design of the system and the components do not work together very well. I have also read about few other issues with Satelite Laptops which freezes. I use other laptop and I am an IT Specialist. Never had such a problem before and cannot explain why this Laptop in particular freezes. Anyone can shed the light on what could be the problem so Technician and Users can maybe fix this issue.
As I said we tried every thing you would do to eliminate the problem and nothing has worked so far.
Thanks in advance to any replies or suggestions.

Hey,
Im really wondering that your notebook doesnt work properly with video applications. Friend of me has the same notebook and he often use video applications like Skype, Youtube, etc. Also he watches DVDs and blu-rays but not problems at all.
He uses the preinstalled Windows version from Toshiba and everything is ok.
In your case I would ask the authorized service provider again what they can do for you. I mean if a lot of parts were already replaced there must be a solution for your problem and if its a hardware related problem you can do nothing and you need professional help.
Maybe the ASP can get in contact with Toshiba directly or something else Just talk a little bit with them, Im sure the problem can be fixed.
Sorry that I cant say more but the A660 of my friend is working perfect.

Apple TV disconnects when streaming video from iMac.

I am using my Apple TV to stream video from my iMac to my TV using AirPlay display. Every 5 minutes or so, it disconnects. The video freezes on the TV but will continue playing on the iMac. Then after a few seconds it disconnects completely and the apple TV will return to the menu screen and I then have to reconnect. I also have noticed that it only disconnects when streaming video. I'm able to use the Airplay to display what's on my computer screen and it works fine without disconnecting. I have no issues with the connectivity of my internet, there is always a full signal. I've been searching for answers on this and have found similar issues have happened to other users but none of the suggestions have worked so far.
Very frustrated... please help!

What is described above is a network issue. Troubleshoot the network.

Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?

Hi -
I have a simple Encore(CS5 Mac) project that is that is "stalling" when played.
The content of the DVD is made from an After Effects(CS5.5 Mac) project so I think I should provide information on that. The 30sec AE project is mostly timeline animation until the last 6 seconds which is video footage. The 7 second video clip is scaled way down from it's original dimensions and then masked off to fit in an area of the AE stage.
I rendered the AE project to a QT MOV with No compression. In this format it was a very large file (939MB) but it played flawlessly in Quicktime on my desktop.
Then I brought that MOV into Encore as a timeline, added a one button menu, and burned a DVD.
The prpoject plays fine until that video comes on. At that instant - the picture freezes for a few seconds - then plays for a second and then freezes again. It does this stop and go until the video ends and then the DVD returns to the simple opening menu.
It seems to choke at the same time each time I replay it but I can't be 100% sure. It's almost as if the disc actually stops spinning.
Why would the DVD freeze when the video content of my DVD project played? What can I do to fix this?
TIA some expert advice.
JL

While I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
Good luck,
Hunt

Intermittant audio static/distortion when streaming video

New member seeking solution to an annoying problem. When
streaming video sites such as Youtube, MSN videos, and other video
sites, the audio has intermittent static, much like a radio station
that isn't fully tuned in. I have a laptop with an external sound
card, and it does it through it hooked to a small stereo system, as
well as the laptop's built-in soundcard and speakers. I have
updated the Flash player, and tried completely uninstalling and
reinstalling the sound drivers. Next thing, I am going to totally
uninstall Adobe Flash and try reinstalling it to see if it takes
care of the problem. By the way, it does it with both Internet
Exploder and Firefox. Any suggestions are welcome.
Sincerely,
John

The same thinks happens to me,
Thank you.

When streaming video on my iPhone 4s with OS 7.1

When streaming video on my iPhone 4s with OS 7.1 the sound is fine but the video is like watching a slide show. What's causing this?

Thank you but I got that figured out. The issues is in that the text from incoming Emails are so small it is difficult to read. If you increase the font size using what you suggested, incoming is easier to read but when you compose a new email it is like getting far fewer words on the screen because the text is so large.
Something changed in the new version of the operating system!

My Macbook turns off randomly after being on for a while and usually occurs when streaming video on netflix or something. I think it is overheating. Any thoughts?

Safari slows down/freezes completely when streaming video

I do not usually have this problem, and it is not with every site. Certain sites with embedded video content (YouTube, Google Video, etc.) do not have this problem. This problem only occurs when I attempt to stream from a video link.
This is how the scenario goes almost every time:
I click the link, Safari goes to a blank page with the QuickTime symbol in the middle. Soon after (5-15 seconds), the mouse beachball occurs and Safari basically freezes. If it does not freeze, it will lock up for about 10 minutes, the fans in my Mac Mini will go wild (spinning abnormally fast as if attempting to process a very, very large app or task. It is also quite loud for any type of computer or process. This problem also occurs when Safari freezes completely) and will eventually cause my computer to lock up entirely. I have had this problem for about 5 months now, and have looked at the forums to try and solve this problem numerous times (there is no Rosetta check box on my version of Safari btw, so I could not attempt that fix; I deleted my QT plugin and restarted Safari; I attempted the various fixes with QT in System Pref and MIME pref). I would appreciate if none of those answers would be listed.
Please, if anyone has any clue how this problem works and how to fix it, let me know. This has been plaguing my computer for far too long.

I did not make myself clear enough: the link does not open a new page, but rather in the same page as the original site. In other words, the video opens and plays in Safari in the same page. I do have a program, Flip4Mac, that deals with video, but I do not believe it affects QT movies because it apparently only deals with .wmv files and not .mpeg or .mpg files. My QT is also Pro, by the way.
When I stream the movies (if this is considered streaming), I let them download fully in Safari before playing them. I know when the video is beginning to load because a preview (screenshot, per say) of the beginning of the video appears and the QT menu (status bar, play/pause buttons, etc.) appears around the video. Unfortunately, Safari usually never gets to that point and locks up before the video even begins to load.
Also, when I adjusted the MIME settings, I messed around with the video, miscellaneous, and streaming tabs. I attempted to try each change with a restarted Safari with no luck. Are there any other MIME settings I should be looking at? If not, how else could I attempt to fix this problem? I have tried downloading the video, and it works from there, but it takes about 10 min. to download when it takes only about 30 seconds to stream/download in Safari. Thus, I would prefer it working in Safari, not only for convenience, but because I don't like problems going unsolved on my computer. Thanks to all so far for giving advice, at least.

Computer freezes when watching videos (or video calls) since I bought a new router linksys E1200

Hello!
Since I've bought a new Cisco router last summer,, a Linksys E1200 (v.1 updated...) (always in the wireless mode), my laptop (Sony, Vaio VGN-NW110D) freezes when I stream videos online or when I use skype video calls. It sometimes freezes for a few minutes (in that case it's just really extremely slow and it sounds like a satanic robot), and then comes back (but does it again a few minutes later. Or sometimes, and this is more frequent with skype video calls, it completely freezes, and I have to reboot the hard way...
This never happened to me before and I've been watching videos and video skyping for years. I have windows 7, service pack 1 (32 bits) now . I have windows 7 now, since about the same time I bought the router. But what makes me think its related to the router is that when I'm at work, or at my parents, or sisters, or boyfriend's house, this problem does NOT occure.... Do you think you could help me? This is getting really annoying! I would really appreciate it! :-) Thanks a lot!
ps-Oh and I don't know if this information could be relevant, but this does not happen when I make videos calls with skype on my iphone

You can try the following combination of settings:-
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
          1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
          2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
         3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page). Here is the link for determining and setting up the correct MTU size: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

Freezing on streaming video Adobe flash player 10

I am a newbie and have been experiencing major freezing when watching streaming video on Zap Live/Wildearth TV which uses Adobe Flash Player 10. I have upgraded the player and still getting freezing. Help please!

Odd. Revision3 works fine for me. In fact the opening shot of the video I tested is someone sitting at a desk with an Apple Macbook!
As you get the same error in all browsers, try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player:
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

Hi,
(first post )
I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
Both are connected to my network via wifi.
I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
=>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
Any idea on where this is coming from?
Any idea on how to prevent this?
Thx in advance
Rodolphe
A few precisions on the configuration:
the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
One explanation I see:
my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
Anyone's got anything to add?
