Surely all Internet users are already accustomed to the fact that on the pages of numerous sites there is the ability to watch videos. And almost everyone knows such an unpleasant effect as an inhibitory video.
Major hardware issues
Like any other electronic device, a computer can also be prone to breakdowns. Most often, one of the devices ceases to function normally, but at the same time not only slowdown video appears, but also other freezes. But there may be situations where this is manifested precisely in videos viewed over the Internet. The reasons may be in RAM or processor. Only their replacement will help here.
If video freezes on the Internet, then another reason may be the video card. Even if it functions normally (i.e. the monitor displays an image), this does not mean that it is operating at full power. In this case, you need to check the drivers on the video card - perhaps they were damaged, not installed at all, or outdated.
If the video you are watching is of high quality (for example, HD), then there are often cases of a lack of hardware resources. There are a number of requirements for devices, the failure of which leads to inhibition of high-quality video. Only replacement of computer components will also help here.
By the way, the higher the quality of the video, the greater the speed of the Internet is required. Therefore, a low network connection speed also slows down the video: it does not have time to load in a timely manner. You just need to pause the video and wait for it to fully load.
Braking Video: Software Issues
If drivers are installed on all the necessary devices, they all work correctly and are the latest, then most likely the reason for the software. What should be checked first? And first of all, you should pay attention to the plug-in to the Internet browser, which provides video from pages. Most often, Flash Player is used today, which from time to time can fail. However, the browser itself may behave "inappropriately."
In order to find out if a plugin or browser really works poorly, you can use the task manager. Press Ctrl, Shift, Esc at the same time. We go to the “Processes” tab at the top and find the name of your browser (for example, Opera.exe, Chrome.exe, etc.), look at the “CPU” and “Memory” sections. If you have a total amount of RAM on your computer, for example, 1 GB (1048576 Kb), then a too large figure in this section (about 30-40% of the total memory, in kilobytes) indicates that the browser or plug-in is hanging. If the percentage in the "CPU" section rises to the level of 80-90%, then this also means that the browser or the plug-in hangs there.
The first step is to change your browser and go back to the "Task Manager". If the picture repeats - we update, or reinstall the plugin, downloading it only from the official site. You can also try to clear your browser’s cache , Coockie files and remove all other plugins from it.
Sometimes, even after this, the slowdown video may remain so. In this case, you should pay attention to the possibility of virus infection on your computer. Typically, viruses also greatly slow down the entire system or any particular program - in this case, your browser. You should scan the system with the latest antivirus updated.
If you continue to lag video on the Internet, then the last reason for this may be the operating system itself. This is also a fairly common problem. Braking video may appear as a result of the OS incorrectly processing video streams, requests from various programs, etc. (there are many reasons). In this case, you need to reinstall the OS or its full recovery.
So, by solving all of the above problems, you can eliminate the causes of the video hanging. But in many cases, simply restarting the computer can help.
