I know that it isn't a prank or anything.. Even if it was I have no idea how such a thing would be set up. Here is the fan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R1RXUG/ref=oh_aui_...

Your house is probably old or has less than par wiring, so more power on the circuit slows it down for a second. Like if you turn on your vacuum and the lights dim for half a second and then go back to normal.

That would seem like a likely reason, but this house is fairly new.. only 6 years old. Also, I doubt a fan would cause that, as we have had many things running at once and never experienced this problem, or even the vacuum cleaner one.

Hmm... can you make the problem happen if you plug the fan into a different outlet than the one your PC in plugged into?

Hmm and that would only happen if the power supply has a crappy hold-up time

I have a decent PSU, 600W Bronze. And the problem doesn't happen if i plug the fan in elsewhere.. Hmm.....

Hold-up times are tough, even good ones might have bad hold up times. If that was the case I'm surprised that it doesn't crash.

That's what's weird to me.. Why would it only effect Youtube.. And why only pause it? Lol
