Windows 10: Watching youtube causing an orange screen of death?

I cannot watch videos on youtube on my laptop recently, which ends up causing my laptop to crash and refuse to start up. I'm not sure if some of the possible causes for the OSOD matches with my possible cause. However, it exclusively happens when I play youtube videos, except once when I was launching a video game.

Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

Windows non-Blue Screens of Death... Green and Orange?

Many BSODs are listed in the article
Purple, Brown, Yellow, Orange, Red, Green Screen of Death explained.

Purple Screen of Death

Mainly seen when the VMkernel of an ESX/ESXi host experiences a critical error,
becomes inoperative and terminates any virtual machines that are running.
Requires reboot using the power button.

Brown Screen of Death

Mostly associated with game-plays, linked mainly to graphics.
Usually arrives when a PC game forces CPU and memory to run at speeds higher than
their official speed grade (over-clocking).

Yellow Screen of Death

Happened usually with Firefox accompanied by a weird buzzing sound, after an XML.
Probably does not exist any more.

Red Screen of Death

Mostly indicates issues related to the graphics driver and the corresponding
applications, caused usually by installing wrong drivers or by software conflicts
on boot.

Orange Screen of Death

Usually indicates fatal hardware errors and has many causes such as
watching a video, when booting into Windows, waking up from Sleep, BitLocker,
or when adding a second monitor

Green Screen of Death

Intended for Windows Insiders testing for upcoming Windows 10 test builds,
to make it easier for Microsoft support staff to differentiate between errors
in test builds and in production.

As Microsoft staff are not infallible, sometimes colored BSODs happen not
according to the above purpose.

 

Orange screen of death

I just got the orange screen of death at startup this week. When I tried just entering my password, the screen went black and then back to the orange screen with white stripes. Are there other suggestions for getting past this?
