    Hi guys,

    I've had this problem ever since I've been using this laptop.
    I've updated my video drivers and Windows 7 (I did a fresh clean install the moment I received the laptop).
    I realized that whenever I play flash videos on youtube (especially music videos strangely enough) the laptop starts to hang (see video) and playing music on VLC.
    On one rare occasion it started to slowly stutter but after touching the touchpad the stuttering stopped.
    As you can see I can't really do anything and have to do a hard-reboot in order to get the PC working again.
    I don't really know what is causing this issue so I don't really know how to solve this.
    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    PC Infos:

    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
    4096MB RAM
    i5 @2.67GHz
    Ati driver version: 8.841.0.0

    Thanks

    Sorry, I just realized that I updated my flash before and that some songs actually cause my PC to freeze when I play them via VLC player so it's definitely not only because of flash but it's most frequent with it.
