Streaming videos freezes and becomes unresponsive on any browser

I have reinstalled windows 7 in my case and since then when I am streaming videos the system is getting froze. I thought there was something wrong with the internet explorer but later when I checked out firefox and chrome then I found the same issue there as well. I don’t know what the issue all about is. I don’t think that the system should freeze like this since I have made a fresh installation of windows 7. Is there anything I can try out here for fixing this issue??

I just wanted to know if you have tried out the below things? If not the try them out and post back the result that you might be getting so that I can have a better idea of your case.

1. Try updating the graphic card driver.
2. Try uninstalling and reinstalling flash
3. Try uninstalling and reinstalling Silverlight

Other than this make sure that you are having the latest version of flash and Silverlight. Since you have mentioned that you have reinstalled windows 7 there are possibilities that these things might not be updated.

So now I have tried updating the graphic card driver, tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash, tried uninstalling and reinstalling Silverlight. I have installed latest version of driver for the graphic card along with the latest version of flash and Silverlight as well but they are not making any difference in my case. Other than this I have checked out for the same issue in other forums as well and have found below solution to be mentioned as working by some people.

• Updating bios
• Disabling add-ons
• Right clicking on flash video and un-checking "Enable hardware acceleration" option
• Resetting the browser

Unfortunately even after trying out these things the issue is still the same, No matter what I have tried I have not got any luck is there any effective solution that I can try out further to get rid of this issue?? Will reinstalling windows help?? What do you guys think about the same? I was not having the same issue before it all started after reinstalling windows.

You can try out the below solutions and one of them should definitely put an end to your issue.

• Disable Background Running Programs: For disabling Background Running Programs click on start and type “msconfig” without the quotes and hit enter. After that click on Services and just uncheck all the non Microsoft services and apply the same.
• Update Flash Player: For updating the Flash Player first uninstall Adobe Flash Player by going in to Start >Control Panel >Add or Remove Program. After that go to Adobe Flash Player’s site and download the latest version of Flash Player. Make sure that you are rebooting the system after installing Flash Player.
• Remove Browser Add-ons- for removing the Browser Add-ons go to start> Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs and uninstall unwanted tool bar.
• Update video card Drivers- For updating the video card driver go to start? Control panel> administrative tool> computer management> device manager. When you click on device manager then you will see the list of driver in the right pane, so just right click on the Device and check out for updates. Make sure that you are downloading the latest driver for your graphic card.
• Repair Windows Registry: There are possibilities that this issue is because of corrupted registry entries. So to fix the same you can Download some reliable registry fixing program and run a full registry scan for repairing the Errors.

If at all these solutions are not making any difference in your case then you can try out reinstalling windows. I don’t think that will make any difference but you can try out for your satisfaction.

I am really running out of ideas now, I mean I had already tried out the above mentioned solutions but now I have tried out repairing the registry as well. I am still not having any luck with these. I will be trying out reinstalling windows 7 again and will let you know if it is making any difference in my case. Till then if anyone is aware of any other solution then just share it here. It will be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
