[QUOTE="macbrisbane, post: 1204701, member: 195704"] Yes, the internet speed is fine. I never had this issue with my old computer and it doesn't seem to happen to other computers in my house. It is 60GB free out of 250GB which is reasonable space. It's also a 4GB ram. By watching online I mean YouTube and Megavideo. I started noticing it while watching TV shows online but then it even began happening to 3 minute videos on YouTube. I have downloaded the latest flashplayer and it didn't seem to help at all. When I went to see the genius bar they looked at the activity monitor and showed me that when using Chrome it was using a lot of CPU% and to change to Safari. It took a little while longer to show but the same thing now happens to Safari when watching anything. Is this likely to be a hardware issue or something I can fix myself? [/QUOTE]
