Hi all,

Recently, I have been having trouble watching 1080p videos online (youtube etc.). This has never happened before, my internet speed is fine at about 31MBPS. My laptop specs are:

-Intel Core i5-3210M 2.5GHz with turbo boost up to 3.1
-Nvidia GeForce GT 630M 2GB VRAM
-HD LED Monitor
-8GB DDR3 Memory
-750GB HDD

I have been using this laptop since last August and until now, i can't watch videos ONLINE on 1080p without it lagging and becoming choppy. I can watch 720p fine. However, i can watch 1080p videos that i have downloaded fine. It's only when online i get this problem! I have done some reading, and people say it may be due to temperature, i have attached below a screenshot of my temps:

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks,

Dillon
 
ISP throttling speeds at certain times?
 
Try switching over to HTML5 on Youtube (use Google Chrome) and see if it repeats.

If it doesnt then it's a problem with Flash itself, the video is offloaded to the GPU & this imay be broken. You can disable Flash hardware acceleration by doing this and see if that changes anything.
