    This only occurs when I'm running at the native 1920x1200 resolution. I'll start watching a flash video in full screen, and it'll run fine for a while. After a couple of minutes, however, it'll start skipping frames, but the audio will stay the same. If I turn the resolution down, the problem goes away. Does anybody else have this problem?

    maybe it's not loaded all the way, have you tried letting it sit and then go back?
    videos have done that to me before, and it's usually cause they were loading slow.

    But then the same thing would be happening on all resolutions. And it usually tends to just freeze for a second if it's buffering. Here, it's just skipping frames.

    Dammit, I didn't even see the CPU usage. Ugh, this laptop has been giving me a lot of problems this past week.
