Ok so I recently had this problem where if I play a flash video it would play for a few seconds with no sound - and then my PC would completely freeze. [Only the screen stays as it was without being able to do anything]

It drove me nuts and I couldn't find a solution so I formatted [reinstalled OS and cleared everything] my PC.
Now flash videos play normally but with the first few seconds not having any sound.
I'm using Chrome [built in flash] though it happens the same way on other browsers.
