Hello, my laptop is Intel i7-3537U, 8GB RAM, display adapter Intel HD graphics 4000, and a few weeks ago my computer started showing problems when playing videos - serious lagging when playing Youtube or Netflix on Chrome (didn't try on other browsers), and also lagging and slowness when playing Might&Magic X - legacy. The lagging started only a few weeks ago, I think after Windows automatically installed updates. I tried defragmenting, did a thorough virus check and disabled all unnecessary programs at start-up. Is there anything else I can do?
Thank you

Do the videos lag or do you mean that they don't buffer properly? That means it a slow connection. Not much I can do to help on that though. (Other than use cable instead of wireless if you can)

My power settings are indeed on Power Saver. I tried to change it to high Performance several times, including restarting but it keeps changing back to Power Saver. What can I do?
Thanks

By what I saw, It's lagging for streaming more than for buffering, but does lag in both cases. Also on games.

I downloaded the latest drivers last week, and it didn't help. I'll run the HWMonitor and post it back. Thanks!

I used HWMonitor while playing Netflix, and video lags badly. I can't post the print screen here apparently, so I'll describe the differences:
Temps of TZ00 and TZ01 increased from 48 to 54;
Vid voltage decreased from 0.821v to 0.796v;
Temps of Core0, Core1 and Package increased from 47-48 to 53-55;
Powers of Package, IA cores, GT and Uncore changed from 2.43, 0.42, 0.01, 2.01 to 4.74, 2.09, 0.3, 2.34.

The rest remained the same.
Thanks again
