youtube/skype crashes EVERY TIME!

[folettary]

Ok so here is the problem, and this has been happening for a very long time.  When i start up my computer, i can use Skype and YouTube fine for a while.  Eventually i notice that my my Skype calls/chats have stopped working.  Skype won't let me end calls, and it seems as if the program has just frozen completely.  Whenever this happens, i am also unable to use YouTube.  Whenever i try to start a YouTube video, it just freezes.  As i said before, both Skype and YouTube work fine when i startup, but always freeze soon after.  These issues ALWAYS come together!!

I have tried everything from reinstalling flashplayer and skype in safe mode, to doing system restores.  All of these temporarily fix the problem, but it eventually comes back.

Someone please give me some insight into this issue because if i can't skype or go on youtube on my computer, a lot of its' functionality is gone.

Thank you.

Ryan.

Have you tried uninstalling/disabling any or other protection softwares installed such as system scanner, webscanner, anti malware,spyware to rule out the problem? It could also be a hardware problem such as a RAM or PSU were as on other threads suggested an overclocking settings.
