    I watch a lot of shows on Hulu. Certain shows have started jumping while playing.

    But tonight nothing streams everything stalls.

    I ran Spybot Search and destroy, SAS now Norton detector (I haven't bought it yet) nothing can find anything.

    I've run disk clean-up, SSD deleted all my temporary files, I ran disc cleanup and defrag -- which I didn't need to.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    1- Check your internet connection. Sometimes its speed drops down abruptly which may cause stalls in streaming movies.

    2- Check your CPU usage from the task manager. Is there any other process that keeps your CPU blocked?

    It's most likely caused by some conflict with your video drivers and flash. I had this happen to me too but after the latest video drivers and the newest flash my netbook is back to normal.
