(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok so everytime I watch a youtube video I leave it on pause for like 30 seconds (For the gray bar to go pass the red), but the Red then catches up to the gray bar and then the youtube video freezes and I can't seem to watch a video.

Check Download/Upload speeds. Stop the video before it starts if you have slower internet. Clear Browse Cache as it can clog up and slow you down if you haven't cleared it recently.

Try clearing cache; see if everything is updated. If you are still having problems, try another browser. If it loads, uninstall your browser and reinstall it.

It is most likely your connection.

I can watch Youtube videos perfectly without buffering or freezing.

You never checked dl/upload speeds. Check them. If they come back less than 5 down and 1 up; you will have issues.

4 out of 5 bars? Are you using COD to judge your internet speed? Lol.

Go to speedtest.net and perform a speed test and post results so we can get a good analysis at your connection.

^ Exactly this.

The 4/5 bars means the connection to your router; although that does play into the speed of things.
