video breaks up on live or playback only - recording okay
When watching live or playback, the video breaks up with this green hashing and stuttering. It is not poor signal pixelation. I can playback the same recorded files shared to my desktop computer, and they look perfect. So it's recording properly. This appears to be strictly a rendering issue of some kind. Also watching ripped MKV files with VLC works perfectly. So this issue also seems to be Media Center specific. Or perhaps a codec kind of thing. This issue just started recently, and has gotten worse in the last few days. But I have been trying a lot of different stuff, so might have made it worse myself. Not sure if my integrated video is going out. Tried different HDMI cables, and using different ports on the TV. Updated all software, video drivers, and tuner card drivers to the latest. No difference. During playback, the CPU doesn't go past about 15% utilization, so not CPU bound. Attached photo of the green crap.
Thinking about maybe just replacing the whole guts of the system with a new cpu/mb, specifically an AMD A10-5800k processor with the integrated video, which should be a pretty big bump up from the 880G video.
