try deleting the browsers temporary files and cookies to see if it helps. Try a different browser to see if it is a browser issue. you can try disabling all toolbars and addons to see if they are causing the problem. you can reset the browser to default.
First, make sure you have the latest version of the Flash Player from the internet.
Next, try performing these steps to disable the Flash Acceleration. So first, check if you can see the Flash animation (banner) without the system crashing at:
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Don't worry, it's not a video, it shouldn't crash -- if it does, this won't fix your issue. If it works without crashing, right-click on the Flash animation (banner) and uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" from the Settings panel. You should now be able to view the YouTube videos without crashing the computer.
And on Windows 7 computers, some folks are finding relief for your issue in Internet Explorer, by opening the Control Panel-Internet Options-Advanced tab.. Once there, place a CHECK mark in the box next to "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering", then click on "apply", then OK.
Hope this helps.

ok, tried all that and ie 11 still crashes whenever I click on any video, I even uninstalled adobe flash drive and
adobe reader, still the same thing. I then went back to ie 9 and it works fine just a lot slower then ie 11.
...that work well with IE9 and not IE11. Of course, for IE11 to work correctly, you need to make sure you have Service Pack 1 installed on Windows 7, which you may have, but since you didn't state such, I thought I'd mention it.
Next, assuming SP1 is installed, in such cases, we move on by checking for malware with a good free removal tool such as Malwarebytes. Then we try installing IE11, then "reset" it like this: Open the Control Panel-Internet Options-Advance tab, then select the "Reset" button. It eliminates all those add-ons and takes the browser back to its original state.
Hope this helps.

wow that worked, did a system restore, then installed ie11 reset it and everything is working fine
thanks so much for the help.
...follow the steps in the link below to search for malware. Certain types of adware/malware will cause inappropriate add-ons to be installed. Get rid of them if the scanners find such.
