Hi guys
I got an ASUS G73JW laptop which came with a 5300 RPM HDD.
I recently saw a good deal on SSD so I bought it (Kingston SSDNow V200 64GB)
I installed it on the available SATA slot, reinstalled Windows 7 (64-Bit), installed all the drivers, ran the Windows Update, installed the latest K-Lite Codec Pack, computer is pretty fast, boots fast.
Everything is good except when I play videos it lags and have some hiccups often (every ~5 min or so)
I tested with AVIs or 720p MKVs, sometimes it's ok for 15-30 minutes but eventually it will lag for 2-3 seconds and interrupt the playback - this never happened with my previous HDD, it was smooth 100% of the time. (I used the computer a lot of watching videos)
Yesterday I played a movie from an external 1-TB HDD an my computer completely froze (my computer never froze since I purchased it - so it was the first time ever)
I would like to know if you guys can suggest anything, I hope it's the K-Lite Codec Pack which is at fault (while I doubt it - I never had problems with it before).
Any suggestion are highly appreciated.
Thanks
Toast
