    Solved! Video freezes

    It would appear that the problem has been solved. Must have been the absence of Windows 10 driver for the on-board graphics card. Thanks for your help!

    The drivers are up to date and both disks have plenty of space... Ordered the GPU; let’s see if that helps.

    Solved! Can I add this graphic card to my build?

    Thanks. Is it compatible with my configuration in terms of heat generation, slots, power requirements? Any other potential issues? This is what I am looking at: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01DOFD3RY?pf_rd_r=3K1MAYQ6EKWM4E9KVQT0&pf_rd_p=05326fd5-c43e-4948-99b1-a65b129fdd73

    Solved! Can I add this graphic card to my build?

    I have a 2011 build HTPC, which started experiencing short freezing sessions during video playback after Windows 10 was installed. Investigation indicated that on-board GPU is struggling; and there is no Win 10 driver for it. Would it be OK to add GT 710 to this build? Thanks! This is what I...

    And if I were to add new GPU, could you suggest something compatible and cheap that would work for watching videos? Thanks!

    Solved! Video freezes

    I see that Windows 10 does not seem to provide a driver for my GPU. Is there anything I can do short of replacing it? Memory and storage are ok.

    Solved! Video freezes

    Temperature is fine and so is the hard drive. Event Viewer is reporting periodic problems with Genie Timeline. That’s not something I recall installing. Nor does it appear in the add or remove program list, but I found the Genie9 folder, so it’s there. Gennie error events come in a variety...

    Solved! Video freezes

    The video keeps freezing during playback, every 30 min or so. Gives a buzzing noise then carries on playing after 10-30 seconds of buzzing. No issue with Netflix or other web-based movie provider; just when I play files actually stored on my PC. This started after I recently installed Windows...

    Question Windows 7 to 10 upgrade is stuck

    One of the programs that no longer works is Microsoft Security Essentials. Still have the Defender, but... Do I need additional anti-virus? Thanks.
