YouTube Streaming

Hey, I got a bit of a problem with YouTube streaming. My dad got a new Dell computer, and his internet and everything works fine except for streaming videos. It will load fine for a few seconds, then it will just stop loading completely. The video will still play up to the part that has been loaded. This happens for YouTube and Megavideo. Flash and Java are fully updated. I've tried Firefox and Internet Explorer. Any help?

Hmmm... 
 
Could you run a speedtest and post the new PC's specs?

  
 
Router reset did nothing.

That ping is pretty high...and those speeds are pretty low.     But idk, I would download Chrome really fast and try that as well.

Yes. I also have a similar connection that practically never goes above 2mbit/sec. What you describe is my Youtube experience all the time. So you're par for the speed your connection is getting.

Its a  Dell Studio XPS 9100

Intel Core i& CPU 930 @ 2.80 GHZ

6 GB ram
 
I mean, it loads fine at first for like 30 seconds, and then just completely stops as if someone disabled the connection. If it were just an issue of being slow, I'd understand.

Thanks everyone for your advice. I really didn't expect to get any help from the internet, but I guess Giant Bomb is pretty sweet.
 
Anyways, for future reference, the answer was in my Flash player. There's an option in it called "Hardware Accelerator" . Turn that shit off.
