slow choppy video

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me w/a problem I'm having. Whenever I watch tv or a dvd on my computer, it starts out fine, then progressively gets slower and choppier. I update my graphics card and tv tuner card drivers regularly, but none seem to solve the problem. Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)
Here's my specs:
Dell Dimension 4100- 1GHz
512 MB SDRAM
Geforce 2 GTS video card
Hauppage WinTV Radio pci tv tuner card
Windows XP Home
Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768, 32-bit
ViewSonic A70 17" monitor
 
I'd start with the basics. Make sure it isn't overheating. Are you running anything overclocked?
I have an AverTV tuner and don't run into the same thing unless somthing is running in the background. ie:Norton antivirus scan.
 
Thanks for responding. I'm not running anything overclocked and there isn't very much running in the background. Even when I close everything in the background, I still have the problem.
 
When it next happens go into your BIOS and check the CPU temperature.
 
How long have you had this card for? If I have problems like that i just reformat and clean install windows.

It works a lot of times!
 
I've had the card for about about a year and a half, but it's only been a few months since I installed (and reinstalled) winXP, including hd format.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
