computer randomly freezes when watching youtube videos

[dragonx]

my computer completely locks up when watching youtube videos, ive done the process of elimination of the following.

1. i bought a new RAM stick made by corsair 2 days ago and it still does it so its not the ram cos ive used 3 different sticks

2. its not my hard drive otherwise id have other errors not just a frozen pc on youtube

3. its not my gpu cos ive clean uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them and i play wow everyday for like 10 hours and never had any issues

4. its not my CPU cos a cpu error wouldnt hang or freeze on a specific thing

5. i ve checked device manager no yellow triangles with ! in them

i dnt know whats happening i think its an issue with flash player if its not and it lkeeps happening il just reinstall windows

Some hardware tests to run to be sure it's all OK.

Graphics card test:
Video Card Stress Test with Furmark ​

Hard drive(s)test(s):

Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.
7 Free Hard Drive Testing Software Tools​

RAM (memory) test:

This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.
RAM - Test with Memtest86+

Personally I think YouTube is the problem. I also have issues there a times with nothing consistent with anything. Sometimes a video is fine, then the next one jitters or has bad audio. Then everything works fine.
You could try reinstalling Flash.​

what ive done is ive uninstalled flash cos i can still watch some videos due to HTML5 maybe that might be an issue of some videos having a bad code or crossover into html5 from flash,

i know my GPU isnt faulty i play wow hardcore everyday, i tested my ram already and its a new stick less than 72 hours old and ive used seatools to test my hdd and ssd
