Studio XPS 13 - programs crash when streaming video/audio off internet
I'm using a Studio XPS 13 with Windows 7 professional 64-bit. I just installed the OS clean along with drivers, and have recently seen that whenever I try to stream audio or video from the internet the program that is trying to stream the information crashes. I have tried going to websites like hulu, youtube, and last.fm with both IE and firefox; everytime I try to load a video the program becomes non-responsive and I have to force shut it down and restart the program. This also happens whenever I try to webcam using MSN, gTalk, skype, and oovoo. However, playing audio and video directly from my computer such as in iTunes works fine.
the only reason I can think of behind this issue is that there is either a problem with a driver I have installed, or I am missing a critical driver that has something to do with streaming information from the internet. Has anyone else had this issue? What can I do to correct this problem?

the backup extension "FEBE" in firefox also causes crashes whenever it tries to create a backup file. I am assuming this is due to a related upload streaming issue, but I dont' know enough about the FEBE add-on to make any conclusions.
