What software are you using to watch videos with? It might be buggy. Try VLC player 2.0 to see if there is a difference. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Also make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.

alishathomaz Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 You need to have a full virus scan. The media player that you are using is effected by virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackfire Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Memory leaking from media player or it could be badly multithreaded video player. sorry bro i couldn't understand what you are saying? i have tried VLC but the result is same. i even looked in windows task manager but no single process is consuming a majority of usage or many processes which can accumulate 100% usage. at that time u torrent is using 20% sidebar is using 15% plugin container 10% rest are using only 2,3 or 0 percent which total to only 60-70 percent, i can't understand which process is using 30-40% of my processing power which is not showing in my task manager.
