> I've been having an issue where if I watch a video on youtube, without fail, the video will stop and go into "loading" mode after about 30 seconds. It will rarely continue playing on it's own at this point. I can drag the slider a few seconds to the right and it will continue for another 30 seconds. This happens in both firefox AND konqueror.

32 or 64 bit Windows?
Try booting a Live CD (Ubuntu or whatever) and try that?
Good luck,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
