OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Acer Revo R1600, so Nvidia ION chipset
2gb RAM (though the problem occurred with 1gb as well)
XBMC Version: Dharma Beta1 (though it occurred with the Dharma nightly I was using prior to Beta1 as well)
A strange thing started happening a few days ago. I had originally set up XBMC Dharma Nightly (from Aug 27th IIRC) and had it working fine playing all of my media from a USB external HD. Playback with DXVA was beautiful, stutter free, the whole thing was working flawlessly. Then, out of nowhere, playback simply stopped working.
If I try to play a video now, the video will not start on its own: I need to pause and then unpause just to get the video to start at all, and after that, it will freeze after 5 or so seconds. Skip to another portion of the file, and same thing, 5 seconds of playback and then a freeze. I can stop the video just fine and browse the XBMC menus just fine, but it's playback that has just ceased working. The same thing happens with any files I test, regardless of size/quality.
Here's what I've tried:
Switching between Library mode and file mode - no difference
Uninstalling Dharma nightly and reinstalling Dharma Beta1 - no difference
Uninstalling and reinstalling Beta1 - no difference
Playing files from the Revo's hard drive as opposed to the USB drive - no difference
Upgrading RAM to 2gb - no difference (I didn't think this would do anything, I just was going to upgrade anyway and just wanted to mention it didn't make a difference)
Also, as a note, all the media I've tested in MPC-HC plays back flawlessly, DXVA or not.
Here is a debug log of one sesson trying to play one file off of the USB drive, and the other off of the local Revo drive. Just in file mode, as I haven't bothered re-scraping any video yet since I reinstalled.

I'm just baffled by this - the issue would make me think that the Revo just couldn't handle XBMC if it wasn't for working flawlessly for a few days.
If any more information is needed, please let me know. I can post driver versions etc, though I'm certain they're the latest (and they weren't changed between XBMC working and XBMC not working anyway).
