    Hey guys,

    I am having this really weird problem that I have never seen before, and I am utterly stumped.

    Whenever I watch a YouTube video, quite often my PC will either lock up and restart itself, or the speakers will make a really loud noise, the only way I can describe it is as a jamming of the audio, and I will get very weird textures on my screen, and I have to hard reset my PC.

    However, I am able to play any game fine, and watch movies I have stored on my computer.

    I really need some help here because I am well and truly baffled.

    Cheers in advance.

    Sorry for the delay in reply.

    I have uninstalled the Flash Player and used a different browser, and the problem still occurs. I am in the process of downloading fresh display drivers to see if that works.

    Just to be safe, I would run a scan with Malwarebytes.
