Please help guys, my pc seems to have grown a strong dislike for doing video
The spec is:
Asus M2N-CM DVI
AMD Athlon X2 Dual Core 6000+
4GB memory (2 x 2GB)
Diamond max 23 320GB sata Hard drive
Currently running Windows 10 64bit
and now also running a Radeon HD5450 (1GB) graphics card
A couple of years ago it used to run Win 7 and fly, no issues. Installed a new hard drive and windows 8 and it had all sorts of issues (hanging/ rebooting and running at a snails pace etc)
Fast forward to now and its running Windows 10, and when ever you run Chrome, IE, or MS Edge the Task manager shows the CPU running at 99%/100% pretty much all the time. ESP if the page has any video content
Thinking it may be graphics related I went from running onboard graphics to fitting the HS5450 card. No difference.
Can run Dreamweaver + photoshop together and the CPU usage sits at less than 20% but as soon as I open Chrome, IE, or MS Edge bang we are back upto 100% cpu usage and things become very slow.
The pc never hangs, just becomes unusable for a while and video (within one of the above) freezes, however, using media player to play video/ music doesn't stress the cpu at all.
Running in safe mode and the PC doesn't struggle at all (cpu usage is about 2%)
I've ran the AMD checker and it shows the drivers for the Motherboard and graphics card are both upto date
Any help or advice appreciated
Many thanks
Andy
