When I try to watch Youtube video, I just get a blank green screen instead of the image. The sound is fine, just can't get the picture. Any advice, other than shoot the laptop? TIA

Have you tried different browsers? Is this only for Youtube or all videos?

Just for Youtube, as far as I've noticed.
ETA: change that, it does that on Fecebook also.

Internet explorer?
Go to internet options. Click advanced tab. Check "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering"
Click Apply. Reboot.
Chrome?
Type chrome://flags in search bar and hit enter.
Scroll down to "Disable hardware-accelerated decode" and click "enable" so that it looks like this:
Then click "Relaunch Now" at the bottom of the page.
Firefox?
Go to options.
Click Advanced
Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available."
Click OK. Reboot just in case.
If the problem is not solved by doing this, undo it, then post your full PC details, including GPU.
