Any idea of your PC specs ?, Windows version est...Videos tend you use mostly video drives, codec stuf like that.I tend to use Your Uninstaller! And close down any hidden programs that starup with my PC, Apprt from the AV program.

try a different browser. Flash player is known to be problematic.

try disabling hardware acceleration or maybe update your graphics card driver

your adobe flash was updated buy are your JAVA also up-to-date??
if no update it and unistall old version
then install codec or player like VLC, RealOne, QuickTime, and K-lite mega
and update your browser and clear your history and cookies

Java has nothing to do with playing videos online.

I've tried all of these things but nothing works. I'm gonna contact HP support pretty soon, because I watch videos online alot, and this is kinda annoying. Also, video chat and everything else works fine. Its the streaming of videos that messes things up.

what is your internet speed and latency? (www.speedtest.net and www.pingtest.net)

ps dont use auto update for adobe flash instead use offline one search it on filehippo or etc
if not something happen on your VGA/ display software

its highly unlikely to be the graphics driver.Are you using firefox and if so, what version of the flash plugin? if its 11.3 then uninstall it and download flash 11.2. 11.3 has a crash bug that adobe can't seem to fix.

It crashes no matter what internet client im using. Also, the answer to your previous question, download speed, 20.03 upload speed 3.18

are there any file on your AV Quarantine if yes delete all of it

try downgrading flash anyway, it might be affecting other browsers as well as firefox.

I had the same problem (Win 7 64 bit) you have to download a browser that supports 64bit. waterfox fixed it for me!
Now i am still on line with Opera (deletet firefox) but only watch videos with waterfox.

64 bit vs 32bit has nothing to do with it.

Well my youtube vids never render past 30 seconds ahead, and then i have to reach that 30 seconds to render it even more! do you know how much that sucks!running Mozilla Firefox

same happens to me, only that is with chrome

i didn't have any rendering problems. just my whole pc crashed/frezzed.@loonylion
i don't know why changing to waterfox was the solution for me to that problem. (before changing i deinstaled and instaled flash [with regedit enteries] installed/uninstalled firefox in any possible order). Nothing worked, changing to waterfox was my solution. (i still can't watch HD-Flashvideos on Opera without the risk of freezing my pc)@megashell
perhaps (and i am only guessing) you have a problem with youtube's html5? i don't know if you can disable it or how but i just read html5 could lead to the symptoms you are describing
