This is a really weird problem that started yesterday on firefox.
It just suddenly started hogging 50% of my CPU (2GB RAM) and videos and games became unplayable.
After trying some ways of fixing it, like cleaning my cache, disabling something in about:config that was allegedly causing it, and so on I decided to switch to Chrome (as you can see in the bottom left).
It ran fine for a few hours, playing videos smoothly, but now it started again. It uses about 35% of my CPU, and everything stutters and lags.
Unlike firefox, text pages and everything that's not a video or a game is running fine.
The weird thing is, the audio is playing fine. The video is the only thing lagging.
After that, I tried IE. It works fine, at least for IE, but it's only a temporary solution, as I don't want to use IE forever.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
Try disabling hardware acceleration and see if that helps.
It is accessed from the settings menu from inside a flash element and right clicking and selecting settings.
Didn't help, thanks anyway.
Edit: Actually, it did help on YouTube and flash games at least. blip.tv (I'm watching That Guy With The Glasses) still doesn't work and whenever I try to play one it lags everything again.
Strange... verify you've updated your Adobe Flash version to the most recent available.
Yeah, it's the newest one.
Everything is fine now, except for blip.tv lagging the computer.
Their ads run silky smooth, but the video is more like a picture slideshow. I guess I need to change the title to "blip.tv issues", but I can't change titles...

It does this when the resolution is to high for the hardware, or there isn't enough resources for it.

My resolution is 1600x900.
I doubt that even the shittiest programming in history would require 1GB of ram and lag.
Most importantly, this started recently, as I managed to see a lot of TGWTG videos before it happened.
