" It'S iN tHe GaMe..."
Hi,
I have a really old system, without any graphics card. The CPU is Core 2 Quad Q8400, RAM is 4GB DDR2 and using Windows 7 OS.
I never actually had any issues as such with streaming videos, but recently, whenever I am watching IPL on Hotstar (even at medium quality) or YouTube videos, 720P or 480P, the videos are verry choppy. I mean, they run for a few seconds, then they stop, run choppily for a bit and then smooth out. The IPL stream on hotstar is even more choppier (not sure if that is the correct term). I opened the task manager and noticed the CPU usage going to 100% during these times. The RAM usage is normal, no high jumps.
I don't get what is wrong. Is it time to change rhe system?? Thanks, in advance.
