Ever since this afternoon, every video I watch on Youtube will play for the first few seconds and then the page will go white, almost as if I pressed the refresh button myself (which I obviously haven't).

If I do refresh the page, the video comes up and starts playing normally again for a second or 2 and then, bam, white screen again.

Suggestions or help?
 
hmmm, he mentions advertising... are you using Adblocker plus?

cos I am.
 
Nope, doesn't help.

I notice that the advertisment just to the right of the actual video doesn't load, don't know if that's related to the problem.

I tried another random video and that one plays fine.

Is adblock plus up to date... and is it subscribed to a "list" that keeps it updated?

use this HOSTS file to block even more adverts... I use that one as well (it blocks ads in IE, Opera and Chrome as well - by blocking them through your HOSTS file)...
