Hi there, i got this all in one pc Gateway zx 4251, I bought it cheap and wanted it just for basic stuff watching videos using offices, etc.

I clean the fans and applied the new thermal paste to both CPU and GPU.. I install a fresh windows 7 home premium and well wanted to watch some youtube videos and realize the videos lags

So my question is, is this crappy CPU that is bottlenecking just for watching a video? it's 100% when I reproduce the video

Can i do something to prevent this? I also add an extra 1GB of ram that I had lying around from my previous laptop and also put the video to the max memory capacity which is 512MB

the system spec are:
AMD E-350
RADEON HD 6310
3GB OF RAM
500GB HDD
