youtube locks up pc ?

[CSA]

my son is having issues with youtube,a lot of the time when he uses it the pc will freeze and hardlock after a few minutes,it only seems to happen on that site tho, he can play games like cod and bf2 for hours without issues

it seems very specific to youtube,would could cause these lockups ?

spec:

A64 venice 2.3ghz
1.5gb DDR ram
ATI 4890
asrock dual sata2 mobo
win xp home

hes currently using the latest version of firefox,but if i remember rightly its happened with other versions of FF too,maybe i should uninstal it and have him use IE instead ?
