If this problem happens more with CDs than programs exclusively on the hard
drive or on the internet, then it probably isnt your Video Card. It may well
be that the CD and hard drive are on the same cable. This does not allow the
hard drive to operate at peak performance. Putting the CD on the secondary
channel with its own cable would help.....There is no reason for your system
to struggle with video in the current setup.
