Ok, weird problem. For some reason, the last two weeks, a I've been getting random slideshows,sound and video stuttering in all games I play and movies, shows I watch. First I thought it was the nvidia drivers, but after doing a clean install, same thing happened. I did some googling, and found something similar to mine problem. That the slideshow always happens after watching a movie or tv show... Which makes no sense, but today it happened like that. I was watching Supernatural, then I tried playing some BF3 and boom, a slideshow, stutter central. A pc restart fixed the issue, and I can play any game for hours and no graphical glitches, weird textures, nothing. Anyone have any idea?

So it is not software problem. You reinstalled a system.. What player are You using? Media player Classic had this weird problem for me. it was not exiting from memory and was GROWING to crazy degrees... but it was problem with nvidia drivers. don't remember what number but installed whql and it helped. First of all. Try completely disassembling your pc and assembling it again. but again... restart fixes it so it prolly not hardware. mnaybe try different codecs and player 3080 \| ps5 pro Sin317-"im 31 years old and still surprised at how much shit comes out of my ass actually ..."

You should get something to monitor your GPU clocks when gaming, before, during and after you watch a movie (GPU-Z or MSI Afterburner for example). It's possible your clocks get stuck in 2D mode or something. I had something similar a while back with an AMD card when I actually had a movie paused in the background - it would just refuse to go into 3D mode even when gaming.

UVD or what AMD/ATI called their hardware playback decoder operates at something like 300 Mhz core clock speed and can't do faster than that so background videos or GPU playback via say Flash will cause a slowdown, people have tried to make it go faster but it just crashes from what I've read. There is also a bug for some Crossfire users in certain drivers where the clock speed on the second GPU operates at 2D mode although I don't think this is a problem on single-GPU configurations any longer. (Some even had that issue if the browser was opened and GPU accelerated though I've never had that problem myself.) EDIT: I don't think Nvidia have had such issues however but some drivers have been a bit problematic on certain hardware so it's something to check, might perhaps have stuck at 2D speed as discussed above. (Finding out what causes it or why it happens would probably help but if updating or downgrading drivers solves it that's just fine as is.) EDIT: Or since you have the processor capabilities for it you could also disable media hardware acceleration from the video player you use and/or flash.
