Hey guys,
Since upgrading to Jarvis, my Kodi box has experienced a debilitating issue where the playback of videofiles will cause the following sequence of events:
1) The file will play for a few seconds, video and audio intact.
2) The screen will flicker and go to black, but the audio will continue.
3) The black screen is not confined to Kodi. I lose not only the video output nor the GUI, but the entire output of video from my HTPC to my monitor/TV. I know that my computer is still running because I can use the media playback keys to pause/stop the video and the sounds confirm that I'm moving around the main menu, but even if I completely close the program via Alt+F4, suspend the HTPC and bring it out back to the main Windows screen, the video never comes back. My only recourse at that point is to leave it alone for 20 minutes or longer (after which it *MIGHT* come back), or restart the computer.
PC Specs:
- Windows 8.1 with Bing 64-bit
- Intel Celeron 2957U @ 1.40 ghz 1.40 ghz
- RAM: 6 GB
- GPU: Intel HD
Kodi version:
-Kodi 16.1 Jarvis (Release date: 04/26/16)
Setup:
- The HTPC is connected to my Samsung TV over HDMI.
NOTE: The playback problem is sporadic. Some files will load fine, others cause the problem, then the same files will work after a restart while previously "good" files can then generate the problem. I have never been able to get it to happen while the debug mode was running, so the logs that I grabbed may not be as useful as I would like.

- http://xbmclogs.com/pboktjiel (Just from this morning. Was on successfully for a day or so, so I've included the entire log. Jump to 09:44:40 near the end for the last playback I attempted when it crashed)
I hope I've included everything that's needed. Let me know if I'm missing anything.
Thanks in advance for all your help!
