Flash player causes lags and 100% CPU usage

[Guest]

Flash player causes lags and 100% CPU usage. I have built older PC with 2,8 GHz CPU, 512 mb of RAM, Ati Radeon 4350 512mb graphics and WinXP 32bit SP3. When playing flash content in any browser (Chrome, IE, Firefox, CoolNova, Iron... all newest version and newest flash player version) whole video or game or whatever lags a lot and CPU goes 100% of use. Any one know hat could be a problem? I reinstalled browsers and flash couple times. Just letting u know: When flash in Chrome in disabled, YT works great, assuming flash in Youtube is replaced with HTML5 wich it seems to work fine. Help needed here. Thanks!

Not sure if this is the latest version; there was a new driver released on Jan. 25.

Thats right. I just updated driver to version 8.93, but unfortunatly no difference in Flash player. Still those lags.

Hi tiger_rt.

After that Ive just taken down my CPU and applied new thermal paste and than it worked! And it still works now. No laggs, no CPU overloading... wokrs perfect.

yeah i took my fan out and cleaned it really good using alcohol and q tips, uninstalled flash player and reinstalled... and so far it is ok. isnt even maxing out cpu...... i think i am going to get some artci fox (or what ever it is called. havent finsihed my coffee yet so brain not working completely...lol) and repaste everything... i am hoping i can get the alienware i want i want by the end of the year...lmao
