Does Running Folding with YouTube Slow YouTube Down?
Why do online videos start and stop through the whole video? When i try to watch online videos through various websites. the videos play and pause through the entire thing. Ive contacted dell support and all they did was reinstall the internet explorer.problem still not fixed.

Videos use GPU resources, and Folding uses GPU resources but the GPU was never designed to share. Turn off GPU folding while watching videos and turn it back on when you are done or accept the default setting to use the GPU only when the computer is idle.
