Video playing slow, audio out of sync. Windows 7. Help please!
Hello all, I've had a really annoying thing happening and am hoping someone here can help. When I try to play a movie on my computer the video is really slow and choppy, audio is out of sync and sometimes it even gets choppy like listening to a scratched CD or something. I do not have this problem with tv shows they play just fine with absolutely no issues.
All files are on my internal hard drive, I moved one to my external hard drive and played it through my blu-ray player and it worked so I know the files are not corrupt. The files I'm trying to play are mp4's
I've tried windows media player, windows media player classic-home cinema and real player. I have K-lite mega pack installed as far as codecs and its the newest version.
I recently installed windows 7 on a brand new Western digital Black 500gb hard drive, also upgraded my memory from 2x512gb sticks to 3x1gb sticks (there would be 4 but I had to rma one)
I cleaned all the dust out of my computer case as well when I was installing those components including removing the heatsink,cleaning it and reseating it using artic ceramique thermal compound.
I am running windows 7 64 bit
the computer is a Hp Pavilion A1240N specs are here
HP Pavilion a1240n Desktop PC Product Specifications | HP® Support
everything stock except for the parts I mentioned above.
Could someone please help me with this issue, its really annoying and no one else seems to know what to do.
(before anyone says it yes I know my computer is old, I cant afford a new one,also I could move the files and play them on my blu ray player but my external hdd is running out of room and I cant afford a new one)
Thanks for any help, it would be much appreciated!
