Keep Getting Choppy Video

Hey everyone. I use a desktop computer as my PVR, and it has been working great for me. I recently bought a new monitor, Asus VW266H, and I have been happy with it as well. The problem I am having is that anytime I try to watch some streaming video over the web, the video becomes choppy. The sound is still fine, it is just the video that gets choppy.

Now, I can watch DVD's with no problem as well as any digital video files I have stored on the hard drive (avi, wmv, divx, etc.). It is only when I try to watch something on Hulu when the video starts screwing up. I don't think it is my internet connection because I can watch the same streaming videos on my laptop.

Here are the specs for my desktop:

Windows XP SP3
Dimension 4600
Intel Pentium 4, 2.4ghz
2.5 GB of RAM
Samsung DVD-ROM SD-616T
Sony DVD RW DRU-820A
111GB HD WDC WD 1200JB-75CRA0
ATI Radeon HD 3650 Sapphire
Floppy Disk Drive
Linksys Wireless G USB Network Adapter
Intel PRO/100 VE Network Connection
BCM V.92 56K Modem
Creative SB Live! Series (WDM)
NVIDIA Dual TV NTSC


Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Update the video driver, if that doesn't help, please post the brand and model of the power supply.
