    Hi i have a problem that bugs me.

    If i like go to Youtube and watch a vid i get 80-95% CPU load and the video don't play right. I get this issue with all type of video playback.

    What can be the problem ?

    Running iAtkos v5 10.5.5 + 10.5.6 update with Voodoo 9.5.0 kernel on Aspire One with 1,5GB RAM and 20GB ZIF drive.

    Regards
    Daniel

    That happened to me when I had an antivirus, wich took many cpu resources then I couldnt play videos, or they where choppy, Ijust uninstalled the vshield (mcafee)... is this your case?

    I dont run any antivirus softwares at all. So that isn't the case.
    When i dont watch videos my CPU load is average between 12-20%

    Best Regards

    Maybe it's a voodoopower issue, do you have it installed? If yes, would it help if you disable auto throttling through the GenericCPUPowerManagement app? Just a guess.

    Just launch GenericCPUPowerManagement app. If the app works, you have installed the kext.
