I have an htpc that I put together with an ASUS H81M-A motherboard, Intel Core i3-4130T Haswell 2.9GHz LGA 1150 35W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4400, 4gb ram, a 320gb system drive and 3 2tb western digital black drives. All of my content is stored locally on these drives and then it is hooked up directly to my samsung 55" plasma via hdmi. I am running the latest stable build of xbmc. Everything worked fine for about 4 months, then I started noticing that it was taking longer for movies to start up initially. Then the buffering started, on anything larger than maybe a 1 gb file the movie will pause and it will buffer for about 30 seconds every 10 minutes or so. I started going through all of the suggestions with audio settings and cache settings and nothing seemed to help. Then this weekend I tried playing several of the same movies through media center and also just opening with a player and they are doing the same thing. This is driving me nuts. Any help would be great.
