Windows 10: Why is my computer crashing when making a YouTube video full screen?

As the title suggests, I have been encountering an issue that has gotten progressively more common, now to the point where it almost happens without fail. Whenever I make a YouTube video full screen, as soon as the UI fades out after not moving the cursor, my entire computer bricks and goes unresponsive to anything whatsoever. As far as I know, the only way to get out of this state is to shut down the computer. Why is this happening?
