I bought a PNY NVIDIA GeForce 210 and when I don't have Adobe Flash installed everything works fine except for trustedinstaller but that is an easy fix. HTML5 videos play perfectly, internet pages load fast, etc.

As soon as I load Adobe Flash, my computer slows way down. Internet is slow and unresponsive, tons of script errors, and flash video crashes it. Trying to work with in windows itself is frustrating. The CPU fan works way more than usual too.

I tweaked the settings. I turned off (what I could) 3D, Physx, and basically anything I know I won't need. It runs only marginally better. Everything is very slow.

What else can I try? I really just need the card for the HDMI output and the computer itself is for HTPC. I don't play games with it except a couple of online word games that still don't need the card.

Gateway GT5628
Intel Core Duo2 2.4 Ghz quad core Q6600
Intel SDG33SXG2 motherboard
4.5 GB DDDR2 ram
Windows 7 HP 64bit
Generic 10/100 ethernet card
PNY Geforce 210 video card 1gb

Really weird indeed, let's rule out it's not caused for another piece of hardware, stress test your CPU with Prime95 (at least 4 hours), your GPU with furmark (at least 30min) and test your RAM with memtest86 (2 full passes should do it). Monitor temps and voltages with HWMonitor or similar while stress testing CPU and GPU.

If all tests come clear, I'd suggest to reinstall the whole OS, it simply doesn't make sense the problem you're having unless there's some conflict with adobe flash and core files from windows itself.

It happens with IE, Firefox, and Chrome. The weird thing is that IE is a tick faster than the other two but it still lags quite a bit.

I got a generic ethernet card thinking it might have been a conflict with the on board ethernet. It didn't change a thing.

I uninstalled Physx and Geforce Experience - no change.

I changed the 3D settings to off, disabled, or 3d program select - no change.

I disabled 3D Vision - no change.

In settings I changed the Physx settings to both CPU and GPU - no change with either setting.

I tried rolling flash back to an earlier version - no change.

I tried version 310.90 of the Geforce drivers - no change.

The only significant change is uninstalling flash. Then rebooting twice. Runs fine then.

I am wondering if Radeon cards work with flash better.

One thing I forgot too is that if I try to download a file, it gets stuck at 99% if flash is installed.
