[SOLVED] PC freezes and restarts during youtube

[seiwing]

So my PC is having this issue for a pretty long time and it mostly only happens when im watching youtube, but it happens randomly.
My initial thought it was caused by Chrome (no idea why), tried using Firefox a week ago, but the same problem occurs.

not sure if this image helps with solving the issue

as for hardware, im using the following:

• Nividia GTX 1060
• Gigabyte B150N Phoenix-Wifi
• 16GB (2x 8GB)
• Intel i5-6600 3.30 GHZ

Ok when was the last time you updated adobe flash player ?
If its the most recent version of adobe flash player it might be an issue.
Also chrome a few days ago and firefox did update their versions last weekend.
Make sure you have the most recent ones and then attempt to test and trouble shoot it.

Make sure you have this installed as it does work hand and hand with adobe products.

Make sure your nvidia drivers are updated with the official drivers not beta as shown in the list.
