YouTube Freezes When I play a YouTube movie even though it's completely preloaded it freezes all the time. My Flash version is updated. What should I do?

  • nifty225 Sep 17, 2008

    Even though the video is loaded, it freezes every two seconds. It will replay if I move the progression dot (I don't know what it's actually called) along the bottom red loading line, but it will only play again for two seconds. All of my software, flash etc is updated to be the best of my knowledge.
    This is very frustrating, please help!

Yes, like "Ali Khan" said there are a lot of reasons out there that may cause the issue. But generally 2 categories: outdated hardware & poor system maintenance. These are manual ways to ahieve and make the PC run more smoothly, for a tech geek, it's easy; for a computer newbie, it's hard. As a result, l recommend this program to you, which can help you easily and instantly speed up your PC & fix all issues with just a few clicks. After that, see if you can play YouTube videos better than before, best regards!

YouTube freeze can happen due to many reasons. Major reasons are overload on website, simultaneous running of many programs on your computer, Low RAM, Slow internet connection or corrupt windows registry.
For smooth watching of YouTube Videos take following actions:
1. Watch videos at off peak times, if possible
2. Do not run other programs while watching videos. They slow down computer in general by making use of memory.
3. Add RAM on your computer. More RAM will make easy execution of heavy programs on your system.
4. Get better and speedy internet connection. Talk to your ISP in this regard.
5. Regularly clean windows registry. Windows registry is vital place that stores information for important computing functions. A congested or corrupted windows registry makes computer slow that causes YouTube like freezes. For this, get the best registry cleaner and optimizer. Use it once in a fortnight for fast computing to avoid YouTube freezes and system slow down.
The above guidelines allow you to take measures to and keep your Windows properly maintained.
You can get a wonderful registry cleaner and PC optimizer reginout

Perhaps there's something that is running in the background that is slowing your machine down?
Another thing that might help you is to empty your cache memory.

Picture freeze,long tme to restart does it again

Unless you have good / fast access to the Internet (or wireless or 4G network), it may take a long time to download a movie to your device. If the speed of download is slower than the speed of the play, the picture freezes ... essentially, it is waiting for the completion of the download for the next few frames (of the movie). That is why the picture freeze .... and it will start again after sufficient data has been download to continue / start playing (the movie) again.

Samsung bd-c6900 xaa dvd player freezes on 3d prometheus movie in same spot at scene 20

Report the error to Samsung support. There is an ongoing problem with the firmware. Make sure you have updated to the most recent firmware version 1025.0 that was released this month. There are still unresolved problems with the new firmware release though. Many movies will fail to load and other will load and play but will skip/freeze during playback. This is related to the anti-piracy features on the Blu-Ray that the player can not properly handle.

My computer crashes and freezes when I start playing games on facebook

There are several possibilities this problem depending on what browser you are using. I would suggest updating Adobe Flash to the latest version and restarting your computer. If it still is not working try an alternative browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
I hope that helps.

My computer freezes every time i try to watch any youtube video? pls help.

Download and install the latest Flash Player (version 10.2) from: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/. And then of course restart your browser.
Or if the browser is freezing the computer - try different browsers: latest Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer.
If the problem is the same on all browsers then you should update your graphic drivers: download and install a free driver updater software, e.g. http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/index.htm - let it scan and update all your missing drivers.
