Okay so in a nutshell my old hdd failed, so i have bought a new one. This meant i needed to reinstall windows 8 and start a fresh.
Upon installing windows 8 i keep noticing that anytime i open a page with flash video on it, my cpy skyrockets frm 4% upto 100% and stays there untill i close the tab.

This never happened before i had to reinstall windows, everyting ran before before the reinstall.

The site im frequantly using and noticing it on is newepisodes.me

Ive tried several windows reinstalls to fix this, nothing, ive trouble shooted eveything i can find on google regarding to flash and browsers but nothing makes a change.
Ive ran all windows updates and refreshed drivers... nothing

nothing can stop the flash from causing huge cpu usage in firefox and chrome.

This is a fresh install with nothing else installed so it cannot be malware or virus related.

Is there a possibilty my cpu id failing somehow maybe?
I took the laptop apart this morning and cleaned all the fans also, it now running cooler but still at 100% usage using flash....

Update Java, adobe and flash player applications and as well as firefox, I do no think its your pc but rather the site you are using being invasive on their users privacy. There have been many incidents where hackers have founds vulnerabilities in java applications and use it to get into a pc.
