Why does my pc start and stop when I try to watch on line videos?

Usualy, when you start an online video, it start playing before it's loaded, at only a few % of transfert, maybe only 1%.
If your bandwidth is not high enough, it will stop as it need to wait for the rest of the video to get downloaded.

The only solutions are:

Use the pause button to stop the video and wait for the progress bar to fill up (fill up the video buffer).

Use a lower quality setting (less data to get).

Get a faster broadband connection (get the data faster).
