Okay guys, this one is a big problem. It's not something that keeps me from using my computer, but it limits the enjoyment I get out of it.
Okay, here is the problem:
When I play music or videos or load images or gifs on my internet browser (Tried different browsers, same problem), my playback on video gets really choppy and slow. Like, basically it plays the entire thing, but where it would take 2 minutes, it takes like 4 minutes, because until the youtube video is finished loading, it will skip and skip, causing my computer to come to a crawl. It sounds like "Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-o-w-w-w-w-w-d-d-ddd-d-d-e-rr-rrr-r-r-r-," like how saying Chowder would have taken 1.5 seconds, it takes about 14. Once the video is finished loading, or my downloads are finished, it plays normally. When gifs and jpegs load, it does the same thing. If I am playing Itunes, it causes my itunes to skip, although not as severely.
Here is the kicker: When I reset my computer, this will not happen for a few hours, but the longer it stays on, the worse it gets. If I want to watch a long video streaming, I must restart my computer and watch it completely before the crazy symptoms return. It makes it impossible for me to enjoy youtube, as I must start the video, and walk away from the computer until it's done loading. They load the same speed, though. My internet is rather fast here, although way less reliable as I live in an energy and cost-saving dorm in one of them loser-countries, which means we can fuck up the server pretty bad at times. But that's neither here nor there, just a little venting.
Does anybody know what's going on? I need more than just "Reinstall your drivers" because that is too broad of an answer. I trust GAF to help a brother out.
