    well, maybe you don't have all plug-ins installed properly. I think youtube videos need java plug-ins in order to run.

    Also, have you tried Firefox? (I'm supposing you're using IE)

    Which model do you have? Also try uninstalling the stock video cards and installing new ones. I've had that happen to me when I got my FW. Get the latest drivers too and you should be set.

    It's actually probably because Youtube videos are in fact, low quality and crappy. Not all videos are uploaded in HD.

    That might be it. But I prefer running on updated drivers still.
