Hi,

I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• What is the make and model of the computer?
• Did you install any third party security application?
• Is the issue specific when watching videos on YouTube or does it happen randomly?
• In which browser are you watching the videos?
• Did you try different browser?
