Hello,

everytime I visit any page containing a YouTube like video my computer freeze and I cant do anything. I tested to wait couple of minutes (10minutes) and the only solution was to reboot my computer.

I tried complete reinstall of my graphic drivers, and also Flash Player.

I am running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (I have all the latest updates)

I am using Fire-Fox (freezing also affect Google Chrome, Internet Explorer)

I am using Flash Player 17.0.0.169 (and yes I tested to turn on/off Hardware acceleration and still freezing)

My computer setup - AMD Athlon II X2 220 processor, 4GB RAM, AMD Radeon HD 5450

This problem I did not have like 1-2 weeks ago please help

If this happens consistently across browsers and post-reboot as described - it could very well be a hardware problem with your graphics card.

I would suggest the same thing but I can use Lightroom, Photoshop etc whole day long and no problem, I can as well watch movies from my DVDs or other videos saved to my PC, and also I can play Elder Scrolls Online and no problem

Edit: I am onto something - I tested to watch youtube video in a emergency windows mode with networking and when I watched video the youtube commercial was not problem and could watch it, than it actually played a video for like 2-3 seconds and than the video crashed and I got the message "Error occured, please try again later... read more"
