[QUOTE="joecrow, post: 1194377, member: 128337"] Thanks for that you were dead right, the refresh rate was set to 23hz which was a bit strange cause I know I set it to 50hz. Even stranger when I tried to set it to 50hz Win 10 crashed/rebooted, no sure if it was a BSOD or what the screen just went black as per a normal refresh rate change but longer then it was restarting.:eek: All subsequent attempts to change to 50hz at the windows display settings level gave the same result as did an attempt to play TV in MP.:( Just when I was beginning to think my new GPU was screwed I tried to play an HD (23hz) video in MP, this worked what is more then TV did too and I was also able to set 50hz in the windows settings level without crashing.o_O. Tried several other things, turning off Radeon Settings, closing MP but the crashing still ocurred whenever any attempt was made to change the refresh rate from 23hz to 50hz, other rates may also be effected, I did not try, but changing from 50hz to 23hz was OK. The problem was also unchanged after playing a video with MPC-HC and Madvr. @Sebastii I have not tried going back to v164 but is there anything in v165 that might have caused this, I know the problem is there regardless of whether MP is running or not but the fact that it can be fixed by running the MP video player but not MPC-HC is pointing at something I think. I found that once the refresh rate could be set to 50Hz setting the "Use my settings for this device" option under Windows Colour Settings Management at least meant that when a crash happened it would default to 50hz after reboot.
