Computer freezes when I try to play videos on Youtube

Hi

For the first time in ages, this morning my computer is freezing up when I try to play videos with sound from YouTube.

I've looked at previous reports of this problem and how to fix it. In the Device manager, I don't have a "graphics card" heading......

I am a complete novice and would be grateful for simple step advice please.

Many thanks

David
