  1. Hello everyone. :)

    I have an laptop (win7), and a problem.
    When i try to watch videos on youtube it freezes the whole laptop, and makes a wierd noise... I can play Minecraft on it without crashing.
    Does anyone know how to fix it?

    Thanks. :)

  8. ummmmm if you are using internet explorer your silverlight might be outdated or your adobe flash player for any other browser, get the latest stable version of either and restart computer and see if that works

  14. might also be your internet connection tbh, if your connection is shifty then streaming video quality will suffer

  18. chek what happens when you use other browsers like firefox. If they also freeze up then something is wrong with you laptop or adobe flash. If they work then try reinstalling chrome or just use the browser that worked. Have you tried restarting your entire computer yet?
