Probably the Nvida; at least, its driver. I have a similar problem on my
laptop. I have to be careful with flash and playing some videos formats.
To alleviate the problem, I lower the cpu freq when I know there will be
an issue.
A test I use is to run glxgears, then gradually enlarge the window. At
some point, the fps will drop to single figures and the cpu will max
out.
