    The last week or so this has been happening, when I'm playing a video on YouTube or any other online video it seems, it plays for a few minutes but then the whole browser freezes. The sound still plays but the whole screen freezes up and I can't close the browser or even use windows at all so I have to power it down and start it back up. I'm using windows 7 and Google Chrome.

    Anyone have any ideas on what's goin on.

    Does the same happen if you use a different browser? I ask because Chrome ships with its own internal version of Flash, and it would be interesting to see if a browser that uses a standard installed plugin would react the same way.
