This, however, isn’t an optimal solution when you rely on Optimus to get maximum battery autonomy.

When disabling Optimus in your BIOS settings, the video problem should belong to the past. Optimus technology switches between these two GPU’s to ensure maximum battery autonomy. I have two video cards: HD Graphics 4600 and NVIDIA Quadro K2100M controlled by Optimus. Quite out of the blue I found this behaviour tracing back to Intel Optimus Technology. At random intervals, with any kind of video format, video playback stops. I have tried using Windows Media Player Classic (MPC), without any effect. It even happens in recent VLC distributions, like VLC Rincewind 2.1.3. Unfortunately there seems to be no solution. Video image freezes, audio rewinds 3 to 4 seconds and gets stuck in a loop.Ī similar problem has been documented here.
