Hello everybody,

I have a problem, my BLu-RaY playback starts to skip after 15 or 20 minutes.. and every time in a different scene.

It's on a new HTPC :

New 785G HTPC motherbord by ASUS with a ATI 4200 intergrated video card. 4 gigs of mem and an Athlon II 3ghz dual-core.

So hardware should be ok right? I have an ASUS BC-08B1ST internal blu-ray player.

Software: Windows 7 Ultimate x64, the official legit release (I have family at Microsoft)
And the latest trail from PowerDVD..

This is the info from PowerDVD:

I also would like to add that I have similar problems with other Blu-ray players.. But it's not the disc.. I've tried several.

Also all my drivers are the latest..

Please help, I bought a bucketload of Blu-Rays..

A week ago I had the same problem.
I solve disconnecting and reconnecting the SATA cable from the drive and the motherboard.
After reconnecting Windows plug&play mechanism tell me that the new hardware is ready to use... And the problems go out!

Hello Gianluca, Thanks for the reply,

Yesterday I replaced the cable, but no improvement.

but I will try to remove my Blu-ray from win7 and add it again (then reboot). thanks for the suggestion!
