cpu throttles 100% while watching online flash content

N

Hi guys,

I am using Compaq Presario V4000 laptop. It's been observed that when I visit sites with flash content with videos/straming, cpu usage starts increasing and mostly reaches 80-100%.
And if in this state for 5+ mins, laptop shuts down!
Suggestions I got so far is
1) cleaning of latop fan, heat sink (did, no change)
2) flash plugin upgrade (did, in fact I tried all browsers)
3) dump laptop and buy new (well, not doable at this time :cry:

)

config:
Windows XP Home, Pentium M 1.73 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Intel 915 GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset
let me know your thoughts on this.
thanks,
Nirav

Thanks.
Seems like CPU can not handle flash, high definition content. :-x

Anyway, still it's good for casual word processing and internet browsing.
