Everytime I look for this problem among forums and search engines I get posts from bloody years ago!
The issue is video playback lag.
Full screen is not a problem, everything is fine in full screen, HD and even 4K is fine so I dont have a graphics issue.
But if im watching in say a normal youtube video size box, the video plays okay but the rest of the computer is slow, and all shit brakes loose even if there is ONE advert running anywhere on the page. To the point where the computer locks up, even the mouse eventually stops and I bet a BIOS beep, everytime I press any key, after usually bang on 30 seconds it starts to slowly work again. Soon as I close firefox the computer goes 100% instant again, no issues at all. How can Flash/Firefox be causing this much of a problem?
Yes its all the lastest updates ETC.
CCleaner is run probably every 2 or 3 days (registry cleaner etc)
Ive uninstalled and reinstalled everything.
Hardware acceleration has been tried off and on, makes no difference.
Ive tried different browsers, only chrome seems to partially work but is just slow all round.
Running out of ideas now! and I know this is a common problem but no one has an answer for it!
