CPU upgrade

Hi again,

Thanks for helping

GPU-z and Coretemp: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3882/sxbim4t7_png.htm

I started using Firefox now and had up to 10 tabs open, so that might explain the high usage. FF is a bit faster than Chrome, so I am starting to suspect there might be some add-ons in Chrome that lag me up.

Still, it does not explain the poor video performance.

change tab in gpu-z to sensors and post a screenshot from that, while watching a video

is adobe flashplayer up to date?

try using "mediaplayer classic" and vlc player, to watch movies

which player are you using currently?

Flash is up to date.

The DVDs I watched with Mediaplayer Classic. It was much smoother than VLC, which I used before. Thanks for the tip

Set the energy profile to maximum, currently it should be at balanced.

Disable hardware acceleration in adobe flash player:

Try knoppix live cd and/or XBMCbuntu

Changed the energy profile - can't say I see any difference.
Disabled HW acc in Flash. It actually made it slower, so I enabled it again.

I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed as well. Have run that and it actually feels slower than on Win7. Also, the PC crashes once in a while. Not often, but with Win7 it never happens.

Any more ideas?

Thinking of maybe formatting and running only one OS (probably Win7) to see if that does anything. Thoughts on that?

Thanks again for all your help so far

I saw that you installed Ubuntu, but wanted to be sure, it´s not an installation/compatibility problem. That´s why I was suggesting the smaller live Linux distributions.

Up to date Ubuntu is version 14.10, eventually that´s faster now too.
