I have a P4 P+ & usually record in 4K/25. My PC (Win7) handles this okay. However, it won't play 4K/50. It seems to import it okay, but when I try to play it, I just get a black screen. It plays fine on my drone's monitor. I recently increased my RAM from 4 to 8, replaced my power supply with a much larger one, & installed a much more powerful graphics card (it is supposed to process 4K50/60), but this didn't work. Any clues, please?
 
May need to let it load a bit longer. Just a thought.
 
First of all, don't play back directly from the flash card. Copy it to the HD (or SSD or whatever) and play from there. Tons of data bus latency issues with USB.

Second, try different software. If Windows, there's the native Windows Media Player and the "Video" app. You can also download VLC Player and try that. Your Mileage May Vary. I've had variable results from platform to platform.

Also double-check to make sure the drivers for the new graphics card are installed and working correctly.
