Alright, so this problem started about a week ago. I started noticing that when playing Netflix or Youtube i would start getting a laggy feeling... It would be slow or even laggy? My computer is a Gaming PC, and my internet has 20 download and 5 upload.. I've cleaned my computer from the inside , restarted the internet, restarted the computer.. Nothing has helped. When it start lagging after a while, i have to move the mouse just a little and it will stop lagging. Also, something i noticed i have for screensaver windows bubbles moving around, they will sometimes start lagging while on the screensaver? I'm not sure what's exactly causing this? Thanks! P.S. This happens in both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

I've heard Defragging my SSD isn't good? and i've never really defragged the other 2 drives.. all they have in it are video games. How would you clean the registries?

Hmmm. CCleaner would clean your registries, but it wasn't effective. Does your problem also occur with other media players?
