I have a HP microserver which I bought many years ago. It's been serving me very well over many years and over the last 4 or 5 years that I've had it I've upgraded the RAM to 8GB and replaced the HDD with a SSD. I should mention I have a GT520 card in.
I've always noticed that my DSTV streaming is not as smooth as I would want it to be, but thought that was due to my 4mb adsl. I then discovered that DSTV streaming works perfectly on my laptop. So decided to give the microserver a format and in the process replaced windows 10 with windows 7.
However, now DSTV streaming causes Chrome to play the sound but no video (just black block) and then the browser crashes. Similar symptoms on other browsers.
Where do I start to figure out what's going on? Any ideas? I'm not even sure how to troubleshoot this. Codec issue maybe? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the graphics card drivers yesterday but no success. Keep in mind I'm overly technical...
Edit: I should mention that all other streaming works perfectly like Netflix and Youtube.
