I've updated my updates until I am blue in the face, I've checked and double checked every setting under the sun.

The fact is, if I watch clips on Youtube, I often lose control of my computer for a bit, I will hear sound, the video will freeze, and the computer won't respond for several second up to 30 seconds, then it might or might not play the rest of the clip, or it might have just finished.. It's a real pain in the neck.

If I can hit the pause button as soon as it starts, it might sometimes play.

If it's jerked, and frozen and stuttered it's way to the end, it will often, though not always replay from the beginning.

It's annoying.

sounds more like a graphics card is on the way out .

do a windows install and see how that goes.

I think it might be Firefox plugin container. I've switched to Chrome for the time being.

Well, I prefer Maxthon, but it went funny with youtube a while back, some kinda HTML 5 error or something, and there did not seem to be any updates.

check for crashed plugins, could be gfx card going weird but not likely IMO. Can always try re installing your browsers as sometimes they go AWOL and chuck up strange errors.

I had the same problem. It was caused by the new HTML5 player, which doesn't agree with my computer. It seems to be loaded every few days (in my experience).

Might not be anything to do with this, but it might explain it.
