Yours may be new to you, but it isn't new to the world of Linux. If yours has a fan, is the fan working? None of mine seem to be particularly well suited to playing HD video, but the CPU may have something to do with this, better with more cores. I can't recall any trouble with SD video. If yours has no fan, can you place an auxiliary fan to blow on the cooler to eliminate the artifacts and freezing, at least to test, even with a house fan and the case open? Which DE is your Mint 17 running? If Gnome, it may be Gnome's heavy dependence on bling is the problem, not your rv380 card per se or its driver.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
