Cleaned computer, now video/audio issues

Hey guys, not sure if somebody could lend some insight, but I decided to give my computer a good cleaning with some compressed computer cleaner air stuff, and when I booted back up everything was fine, internet works good, but youtube videos or any videos or audio podcasts are extremely choppy and unwatchable now, even movies I had downloaded to my hard drive have the same issue... I did remove my graphics card while cleaning, I also made sure to ground myself while working inside my comp... but I'm at a loss right now. Any ideas?
 
I would remove your video card again and make sure you have it inserted correctly. I would also air dust your video card again, might help encase the last time you blew it it could have blown some air into a bad spot. Besides that I'm not really sure what the problem could be.

Hope that helps.
 
You should check all your internal cable and component connections too in case something got tugged. There seems to be interference with data transfer. You could extend JustinKranz's suggestion and make sure no crap has been blown in the wrong place in addition to the graphic card. I would do a routine check of temps and voltages too.
