joker97: just right click on the task bar and select task manager when you are doing your streaming. it should tell you where your bottle neck is.
if CPU is maxxed out even periodically it can cause your problems
if the RAM is over 50-70% it is a problem (which i'm guessing it WILL be given that you only have 2GB ram, but in conjuction with other bottlenecks we can tell the most likely issue)
if your disk activity is high etc
just post back what you see
Thank you so much for the suggestions. This is helping me a lot to focus on diagnosis. I just tried streaming another video and the CPU load never went over %75 max and that only briefly. It averaged around 50-60% RAM usage stayed at a little under 50% and disk activity was almost non-existent, even when the video froze again. Everything seems fine, except it doesn't work!
One thing I haven't tried yet, though it is also on my list, is wi-fi which richms suggests. I will try that tomorrow.
Thanks again for all the help. It really makes a difference.
