Whenever I have a youtube video playing in 1080p, my computer crashes after a few minutes. It doesn't matter if it's in another ab, or another window, or if it's minimized, etc. After 5-10 minutes, my computer freezes and the sound locks up. If it's any other resolution, it plays fine. I'm thinking it has to do with drivers of some type, because long stress tests and gaming sessions cause no trouble at all.
