Cleared your temp files out recently? Sounds like it could be that your temp files are rammed to the hilt and the RAM is having trouble storing enough data to allow the video's to stream fully, and there isn't enough room to save the pics.........?
Open INTERNET EXPLORER, go to TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS, click DELETE FILES. When the pop up windown opens tick the box that says DELETE OFFLINE CONTENT and the click OK
If you haven't done this for ages then it's gonna take some time, and it will appear like it's crashed. You just need to leave it alone, and don't use the PC while it's working. Leave it alone and come back in 10mins or so to have a look.
When it's done, delete cookies aswell.......

Not being funny, but when was the last time you had the case open and cleaned it? I only mention it as a mate at works PC was running awful - fans always on and it was maxed out and kept crashing. He brought it in and I opened it up and the CPU heatsink was SOLID with dust n fluff n shit Cleaned all inside of PC out, and he says it has run sweet as since then - no crashing, no freezing, and he never hears the fans go into overdrive lol....

Buffering hasn't got anything to do with your PC's speed/cpu/ram etc
Its about how quickly your connection can download a clip ahead of what you view.
AOL Platignum meants nowt to me. What speed is the connection, and how long is the video you're trying to watch??
