Youtube locking computer, both in Chrome and FireFox.
This is a minor annoyance as I don't often play YouTube on my PC, I use my Apple TV. I would like to understand what is happening. This happens in both Chrome and Firefox, both have the latest updates. After a time the computer will just freeze no BSOD it just locks and I have to reboot to clear it, it does this every time. I have no access to the computer from the keyboard (wired) and trackball wireless so there is no Ctrl+Alt+Del option. I am fairly certain this is a YouTube issue. It rarely happens when I play movies stored one of my Hard Drives. I have gone into FireFox's Sysconfig and increased the timeout settings, I have also reloaded the "Old Version", no joy. It locked up with the old version. Looking at the event viewer I don't see anything that is associated with the error except for the restart. Who Crashed doesn't show anything either. As I said above I am not so much looking for a "fix" that would be nice, but I would like to understand what is happening. My PC profile is up to date so you can see that my system has more than enough HP to do YouTube.
