I am pretty new at this but maybee just requires a reinstall of your video drivers or a direct x update sounds like a minor glitch everything else ok runs good for you?

My System Specs

Default

#1) try installing the CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) which has very good mkv codecs.

#2) Which version of windows are you running? If youre not running vista, the hybrid crossfire feature of your motherboard is NOT being used. Therefore, you might want to try it with Vista and enabled the Hybrid crossfire support, otherwise your 3450 is working alone and probably having difficulty.

Get back to us!
