Google Chrome and Youtube

Hey guys, I just upgraded to Google Chrome recently (...yeah I know) on my laptop and I'm noticing something disturbing, Every time I watch a video on Youtube, the temperature of the system goes up to almost 80! But in task manager, the system is only utilizing about 20-25 percent of the available CPU resources. I never observed this on Internet Explorer. I can't seem to figure out what's causing it. I've disabled extensions, cleared history, cookies, all that junk. I even uninstalled and re installed and nothing is working. I'm still observing the same thing. I was wondering if anyone knew why this was happening and if you know what I could do to prevent it from happening. Thanks guys, I really appreciate your help!

woooooow!!! hahaha I actually like HP though. Ok so what you're suggesting is that the GPU could be under load and I don't know about it??? Hmmm I wonder what would cause that. Could you give me a link to that program that monitors the GPU temps?

Oh yeah those are supposed to be pretty good. Someone in my class has one. How do you like it?? Is that the one with the 4k display??? I bought this HP before I really knew a lot about computers, but it suits my needs ya know? Lots of papers and the occasional game here and there.

i didnt get the 4k model i just got the 1080p model with 16gb of ram and a 4gb 860m and i really do like it but i might swap out the display like in a year the display isnt that bad its just kinda one of thoe situations where i can have one nicer for like $80 maybe

Ok ok, I assume that would entail getting another one entirely right? Or can you actually swap out the screen? And do you have a desktop as well or just the notebook?
