Video "Graying Out" Randomly (VIDEO INSIDE)

UPDATE: The "graying" returned so I followed your advice and figured out how to enable the Intel HD graphics.. Hooked up the monitor I'm using Blue Iris on to the on-board graphics and made it the primary graphics in my BIOS. Switched all of the cameras to H264H and upped the bitrate to match the previous H265 quality.. CPU usage is now down to 25% from 45%~ previously, and so far in the 10 minutes of footage I have since the switch there is no sign of the gray. I'll report back in a few days (hopefully)

Thank you so much for your help fenderman. I hope that you have now gotten me on the right track, and I hope this thread helps out other folks someday.

So this is what H.264H/20fps/10240kbps looks like for temporary moments...

Your video is private... Your bit rates are way too high you are wasting storage space 4096 is a good place to start

Video shouldn't be private any longer.. I have lowered my bitrates to 8192 for 3 cams, and 4096 for one.. I know you say it doesn't make much of a difference fenderman, but I see dramatic changes in quality from one bitrate to the other... I want to dial in the maximum that I can handle.. Since lowering the bitrates there have been no instances of graying or "smudging" (dropped frames) .. So hopefully it is where it needs to be.

So I have 2 monitors -- 1 hooked up to my GTX 970 and one hooked up to Intel HD (onboard) -- Even though I have the Blue Iris viewer on the screen with the onboard, how can I be certain that the Intel HD is what is being used to record video (or is that not how any of this works?)
 
My goal is to put these cameras on a dedicated PC that are only used for running/viewing cameras. Currently they are on my primary PC that I use for gaming (sometimes I have to close them down to get more frames), web browsing, video watching, etc.

I was hoping I could buy a new CPU/motherboard/RAM and move my GTX 970 over to that to use for gaming and use the i5-4690K/8GB of RAM with no video card for my cameras. But I am starting to wonder if this CPU has the ability to handle even four 4MP cameras, much less another 3-4 like I was hoping to add soon.

first you can enable and disable and see if there is a cpu reduction...also there are several free utilities that can display gpu consumption (the next fall windows 10 update will provide this info in task manager)...if the problem comes back try running h.264 not 264h
