Slow response on youtube

Post by wayne »

This is one issue i think repeat on this computer with Salix 13.1 installed on hard disk.
When i surf internet, i notice after some time the computer is getting slower.

One observation is that, using Salix forum, i click some topics to read, what I can see is a while horizontal line running down on the display, and only at the area on top of the forum ( with green background , Bonsai Salix OS logo).
Then when i click any youtube, the file downloading is very slow.

As this computer is multi-boot, if i switch to another Linux OS, and click on same youtube links, i can almost immediately listen and see video being played. My internet is broad band of some 16-20Mb/s download and i do not think it is the internet problem. Furthermore, this occurred on many youtube video i tried, not just one.

At first i thought just reinstall OS again, but on second thought i believe there is some funny problems and would just wish to troubleshoot to see what is the problem.
Could someone help provide troubleshooting steps?
