Freezes when watching youtube video
Hi there
I've a clean installed windows 8.1 laptop with up-to-date drivers (installed windows yesterday). I use a Lenovo USB to DVI adapter. I use the monitor only for "normal things" like surfing and watching youtube videos. Surfing works without any problems, but until I watch a video, the monitor freezes after some seconds. I have to plug-out plug-in again. Went trough the FAQ but nothing helped. Tested all my usb ports (I only have USB 3.0) but same results. Also had two other DVI and a HDMI cable. Thank you for your help |

Hi,
Do you see this if playing the same YouTube clip on your notebook (with the dock disconnected)? Do you get the freeze when YouTube is playing in a Window or Full Screen or both? Can you still use the notebook mouse and keyboard when the freeze occurs? Lastly is this browser specific? Thanks, James |

Hi James
Sorry for very very late reply. Moved to other house etc . Last week I saw the monitor and thought I'll give it a try. Downloaded newest version but still freezing... To answer your questions: Seems to freeze more when in Full Screen but also Windowed freezes - but maybe I just think it is more in Full Screen because I go always in Full Screen. Sometimes the monitor freezes when I just browse the internet. Twitch seems to work better than Youtube. Twitch doesn't use HTML5 Video streaming but cannot tell if that is the reason? If the monitor freezes I can still use the Notebook. When it freezes you can hear USB plug-in/plug-out sound and notebook gets dark and then you see it again and can use it (like when you plug-in/plug-out a normal monitor directly through HDMI or DVI). Browser doesn't matter. Thanks |
