Have a T410 core i5 intel HD video.

Few times now after a few mins of playing web video from say youtube , the video would get all blocky and messed up.
But video played from the hard drive plays fine.I can play the messed up web video and the hard drive video same time on same screen . I reboot and plays fine. Then it happen again. Twice this has happened now.
I'm sure it's some driver or plugin problem but dont know what to look for.
Have all windows and Lenovo updates and newest flash installed.

Edit: Netflix plays just fine.

There are only a few things to troubleshoot. If Netflix is ok and youtube is not, then perhaps it is the adobe flash player that is bogging you down. Try a different browser and see what happens. Do you have Chrome browser?

Check the internet connection speed and latency. Is this on DSL? Run ethernet to the modem to rule out any router or wifi card issues.

How much RAM does the machine have? Does it always happen at a specific interval of time after starting the video? What are the CPU temps and fan rpms? Are you running tpfcontrol?

It only happened twice this morning.... It did do it with IE and Chrome. Tryed playing bunch of youtube videos since it happened this morning and nothing.
My T410 has 8 gigs ram(2x4gig ddr3-1333 match pair)
The wireless card is Intel 6300 and about 10 feet away from Dlink N router at full 300Mb/s. Also have fiber optic internet.Dont know the cpu temps but it's not over heating.Cool air coming from the fan.
At one point i have Chrome with youtube playing bad video , netflix playing movie fine and 720p video from the hard drive playing fine.
Did a windows update and never happened again.Guess it may have been something with the flash plugin for chrome and IE.
