please post a debug log so that people can help you...

If you're trying to play 1080p without using hardware acceleration, an E5200 may not be fast enough... depending on the video and the bitrate at which it is encoded.

The GA-73PVM uses an Nvidia 7100 graphics chip, and that doesn't support VDPAU (hardware acceleration under Linux).

Note that only Geforce 8200 or newer chipsets support VDPAU, except for certain 8800 series chips that use the G80 core:
