I got strange problem when playing video files, any formats. Video playing goes very slowly, freezing. And this behavior occurs sometimes, when system just loaded it used to play normally. Then usually after sometime, randomly, video starting plays slowly. And when player window on screen - all gnome interface freezing- windows moving, folders opening, menu browsing all slow, but when player window hides everything becomes normal. Movies plays same in 3 players - vlc, mplayer, totem. I tried disable vdpau and use xv- no effect. I took a screenshot and it shows that - when movie plays X root consuming 100% of CPU, and system monitor shows that one cpu periodically consumes 100%, so only one core loaded. http://i002.radikal.ru/1104/94/a4adccc6e6fb.jpg And this is live-time shooting http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNQEnMvtH0k Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Is it just vlc that's doing this? How about mplayer or xine? It would be nice to pinpoint the software that's failing here - kernel/nvidia-drivers/?
I found one interesting thing- just for test i have installed all gstreamer plugins and tried play movies in totem and they were played fine, but when same movies opened in vlc, mplayer - slowdowns. Ok, let say it is players issue, but one thing brake it - when i start Windows games in Wine - menus and overall games slow, slides. As i said before if i restart system all becomes normal again. Seems like it happens after some idle period because when i'm using PC it not used to arise. Maybe it is somehow related to CPU scaling.
OK, let's blame Nvidia again. :-P
After long fighting seems like i found this thing which cause this trouble- SSD hard drive! How i found- I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 and proprietary Nvidia drivers, then left PC idle for night. After opened some video files and everything was ok, but when i oppenned /boot partion where is Gentoo kernel live- PC became slow, of course i tested video- slow same like in Gentoo.

Your chipset has some IRQ problems. Have you tried to add irqpoll to your boot line as suggested? That might fix the issue. Also a newer kernel and a newer version of nvidia-drivers might improve some things. But at the end of the day, your system has IRQ problems. You might have some hard wired IRQs in your BIOS or some such as well along with a non-PnP OS set in the BIOS.

Hello, I got rid this buggy B2 rev chipset 6 months ago, because after few days of using SATA 3 controller stop working at all(not only me many people had same issue). Now i have Asus P8Z68 B3 rev motherboard+ 3.3.6-zen kernel+ nvidia 302.11 no any problems. Off:Too pity that so famous brand sometimes releases raw products without proper testing in order to get faster income!
