videos freeze

on my quad-core pc, windows xp + firefox.

when i watch HULU videos full screen, sometimes the picture 'freezes' but the sound keeps playing. i hit alt+tab or double click with mouse, then it starts playing good again.

just started doing this recently, only thing i did was install free avg, and downloaded some games from steam, but i think it was doing it before AVG.

i was thinking the screen saver was trying to kick in, but the timing is random, sometimes i can finish a show without interruption; and screen saver is disabled.

airflow is good on the antec 900 so i don't think it's a heat issue. and i can play games no problem.

i'm going to try IE, but anybody have any ideas?!!? this is really pissing me off.
 
Use to have that problem with FF & youtube on versions prior to 3.5.5. Screen would be jerky or freeze at times. They seem to have fixed it now.
 
ok, i checked my power settings, i had the monitor to turn off after 20 min idle. will try disabling this option.
 
ok, it's still doing it, wth.
have power settings to always on
and scren saver off.
no entries in event viewer
videos just freeze.
