First: Use Internet Explorer to visit www.mozilla.com and download FireFox.
Second: Install FireFox and allow it to become "Default Browser."
Third: Remove shortcut to Internet Explorer.
Fourth: Never use Internet Explorer again.
Fifth: If you continue to have issues, there may actually be a problem. If the problem goes away, it was simply Internet Explorer.

Here's the link to make it easier:

Yeah, that happened to me too. But only when I am watching 720p+ and it did not download yet. 420 and lower is fine. I also have crapy gpu on my laptop. Let it download 100% and it won't crush. As what it is caused by, I have no idea.
