Would like to address the issue. I was GOING INSANE...trying to figure it out.
99% of the time
Cause: Google Chrome....install Opera browser....NO ISSUES. I would test it playing this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xaO1rGEQ50
It locked up within first 10 seconds in Chrome, NO MATTER how many times I uninstalled Adobe Flash or reinstalled Chrome or flash. Cursor would freeze, sound would disappear and video would freeze. Usually would happen when accessing full screen mode. Forcing you to hold shutdown button. With no ability to ALT + CTR + DELETE
Installed Opera and tested side by side. Opera = just fine. Chrome = froze on the same video within same first 10 seconds
Before blaming the hardware install Opera and run it for 1-2 days casually playing Youtube. BAM!
GOD BLESS...OMG...I was tweaking BIOS for weeks now...when the reason was the damn browser. Prime95 was running just fine, but as soon as I turned on the browser, it would happen not just on Youtube, but searching through forums. The whole time worrying it was my overclock that was stable already.
