whenever i watch an online video on my laptop (or playing a flash game), after a few minutes the cpu will spike to 100 and the video and audio will slow down to the point where i can't watch it. Task Manager and whatever browser I'm using are usually the culprit, sometimes an svchost process will be taking up a lot of cpu as well. I only have this problem with online videos. How can I find out what the problem is?
