I had read on another post that the ATI Radeon was an issue. I will debug it again and look into a new graphics card. Do you have any recommendations on a new card? I dont game or anything so dont need to go crazy and spend a lot of money. Thanks for the help.

I'm a Nvidia 'fan' myself, and recently got the GT1030 card. It seems to do fine in Windows 10 with the latest drivers for 4K/HEVC/10bit. Mind you, it has no CUDA or HEVC encoding support. In Linux it's on a short leash on 8bit video only. Earlier cards like the GT520/610 etc are fine too for the simpler video types.
For AMD there is the RX550. A bit more potent perhaps (and slightly more powerhungry) but for a HTPC already a bit of overkill.
On the other hand, if you can do with simple video display, you could also get a Raspberry Pi 3 which costs less, makes no noise, and will save you money in the end on the electricity bill compared to a full pc with an extra video card.
