i think i have figured out that this only occurs when i connect to my university's VPN. i connect to this because the internet often runs very slow or doesn't load sites at all without being on the vpn, but after i connect to it, everything seems to work fine.
the computer freezes when i am on the VPN and watching a video on the web (it's been with several different players so far.) i haven't been able to see if it freezes without being on VPN because I can't load the videos up.

What model laptop is it? What OS are you using? And what media player are you using to watch videos?
Have you tried reinstalling/updating your graphics drivers?
Have you tried installing/updating a codecs pack - i.e. the K-Lite Codec Pack?
Other than that... try a different media player, to see if it makes any difference?
