Sorry everyone, I thought it had saved my post from the box before I signed in but I guess not.

I got an HP 15 Laptop with 1.35Ghz AMD processor and Radeon R2 graphics for Xmas. It's been working fine except for streaming videos off of websites. The audio is fine but the video is choppy to the point it's unwatchable. When I use the Netflix app the video is great. I've updated the driver and reduced the save rate of the tabs but that hasn't helped. When I checked the CPU usage it was at 99% mostly with Flash taking up 50-60% and Firefox at 25%, I didn't see anything else consistently in double digits.

Is there anything I can try to alleviate this problem? I'm not very computer savvy so I apologize if I've left out pertinent info, any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
