This is really bothering me. Recently I finally moved into m new house. Brand new highest speed internet (Brighthouse), etc.Internet is great but recently everytime I play/stream a video. I get random lags/ unresponsive browser. Youtube, Hulu, and Anime websites to stream anime video. Every single video stream I play/encounter It lags,slow down frames/choppy, and random unresponsive browser. So far I tried:Tried different Browser: IE,Crome, and Firefox<--which I mainly use (complete) Updating Drivers (complete)Disk Clean Up (complete)Update Flash Player (complete)Download new codec (complete)These are the list of things Google search has told me what the problems might be.Help?
if you are using wifi check your wireless options and change the password around, it could have been using the default password and using the default one someone might be dipping into your wifi, reducing your velocity.Otherwise, call the providing company.

Will do in the morning, thanks.Edit:I have notice that when I browse with my Wii U it doesn't share those problem, video streaming runs perfectly.Can that "password" still be the reason if other devices runs are fine?
So far everything points to your PC/laptop.Try to pull a friend over and try, if he has a laptop or even an iPad/tablet.I recommend not looking/touching the router for now, you'll maybe make the problem worst. These problems are rarely internet connection specific.Alternatively, if you have a laptop, go to your local X place with wireless and try it there.

It has to be my laptop@underline try what there? What Iced suggest?
I mean trying your laptop at any place (or even your neighbour) with a wifi network. So if your neighbour did not password his wifi, try it on his and see if it happens. Alternatively, go down to your local McDonalds or Starbucks, etcBut I think you proved that it's not your connection by having your sister over.So now, it's trying to determine what your computer is doing when a flash video is loaded up.

Run Task Manager (ctrl+Alt+delete or right click bar and select task manager)Monitor basic CPU usage (an idle PC should be 0-10%)Monitor basic memory and page file usageFire up a browserStart streaming. See if CPU usage is being hammered. Same with memory.If something is increasing, sort the list of processes (make sure to select "show processes from all users) to see what is at the top.If you see nothing, restart your laptop and load it up into safe mode, and try it again, see if there's any improvement.

The CPU usage goes 55-up when I stream.
So while it's streaming, was the Firefox using up to 50% CPU? Constantly (rather than spikes).audiodg.exe is the audio service in Windows Vista/7 so usually that's nothing to worry about, but I have seen it go high before from time to time but it didn't affect performance.Try the next thing (we'll ignore Chrome and IE for now):Disable ALL addons except Flash in your Firefox, then restart Firefox and stream again, see if there's improvement.If it still does not help, try safe mode next. I suspect something is clashing or incompatible with your browser/GPU drivers (possibly). As I said, it's hard to describe/detail unless I view it for myself.

Try the next thing (we'll ignore Chrome and IE for now):I have tried Crome and IE way before to see it is doing it to all my browsers, but ok.Disable ALL addons except Flash in your Firefox, then restart Firefox and stream again, see if there's improvement.Done, no changesIf it still does not help, try safe mode next.

I tried all 3 Safe Modes. all three of them won't let me access to internet maximilianjenus said, April 15, 2013, 05:00:18 pmupadte your drivers.Already done.
What anitvirus / firewall have you installed?Make sure you have only 1 of both installed, active and up to date.Additionally you can try to install and scan your pc with the following and see if its find anything.http://www.surfright.nl/en/ (hitman pro)http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html?tag=main;pop (malwarebyte, make sure to use free mode only whle installing and not the trial)http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/download/ (emisoft antimalware, again use free version only without active protection)

I know it is not a virus that is making this problem.I would like to give more information on my problem. This is something I picked up, when I stream LIVE videos I don't have this problem. It is when I stream video that needs to buffer!
ⒻⓊⒸⓀⓎⒺⒶⒽ said, April 15, 2013, 10:15:47 pmSo what if you let it buffer (fully) first and then play it?Still does it. And Youtube doesn't buffer things fully anymore. It continues to buffer when pressing play.
I ahve a similar problem , while the videos still work, thee play like shit, so what I do is use firefox's DownloadHelper extension to download them first then I watch them.
Short doing a reformat, I'm out of ideas to officially fix this without seeing it for myself. Something is conflicting, most likely a background process.I do not believe it would be a driver issue for now.If you're feeling brave, I'm happy to go on Skype, and combined with the use of TeamViewer, speak over Skype while you watch me remote control your PC to determine what's wrong. You can pull the plug at anytime.Reason I say brave is afterall, letting some random stranger run your PC over the internet is never a good idea.All I would do is eliminate your background processes (But not disable/do anything permanent) until I am sure that your PC is running optimally without random junk in the background possibly causing Flash videos to stutter while streaming.Your call.maximilianjesus's suggestion also works but that's if you feel like doing so.
Yea you don't have to do all that now. I basically new need to to buffer alot first. Thats the best I could do to stop the choppiness.Thank you all for your help, Problem technically solved.
