Internet crashes when trying to stream video.
Hi guys, I recently bought a bought a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop that came with Windows Vista Home Premium. Through Dell's Win7 upgrade program, I was able to get my hands on a free upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). Only problem is, whereas before, on Vista, I had been using the internet to regularly view streaming videos on sites such as Youtube, Veoh, etc., without any sort of regular problem, after upgrading to Windows 7, my internet freezes whenever I try to stream anything. It's extremely frustrating and I don't know what the cause could be. I have a run a virus scan with AVG, deleted my whole internet history, removed VLC Player, and updated my display drivers, but to no avail. Sometimes when I restart the computer, I can play video for a while, but soon enough, it will start to freeze up consistently as soon as I try to load a video. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the dxdiag spam, but I figure too much information never killed anybody. I can provide the dxdiag info for the sound devices as well if you need them.
