So I tested XBMC it works fine although there is a lot of tearing in the video but both VLC and Kmplayer run tear free. I bought a Sandy Bridge Laptop with Intel graphics so I wouldn't have to play with video drivers. I have also received a reboot on this version old one never did that was running live so no log files to tell you what it was. I am pretty sure it wasn't heat the laptop didn't feel warm at all.
