VLC suddenly has begun freezing unexpectedly while playing

[elverion]

I've used VLC for a long time and never had a problem with it till just recently. I got a new SSD drive and just reinstalled Windows 7. Everything other than this new drive is exactly the same as before and VLC worked perfectly on it. Now, while watching videos, VLC will randomly freeze for 15 seconds or so. It does not happen at the same parts in videos, it does not happen in any specific videos (in fact, it happens with videos that worked just fine before reinstalling everything), and does not appear to be be time-based (ie. happen every 10 minutes or something like that). I cannot find anything common between the times it tends to freeze at all, and I'm stuck even trying to debug it.

I tried gathering some information from the message logger, but it was of little use. The freeze started directly before changing from fullscreen to windowed:

Code: Select all

Only other useful information I can provide at this time is that VLC is installed to my SSD drive and the videos are on a standard internal 1TB SATA drive. What should I do next to debug this issue?

Are you sure all your drivers are up-to-date?

Yes, everything is as current as can be. Specifically, what drives do you think could cause this?
