I would say your notebook is not strong enough to play videos. What do you have for a laptop?

First, I recommend you to reinstall Google Chrome. You may have made a mistake during installation, which causes Chrome to crash.

If this does not help or you do not want to uninstall the browser, you can try repairing Google Chrome. You can try these steps yourself:

Close frozen tabs and windows. Open Chrome Task Manager by using Shift + Shift + ESC. Select the frozen tabs and force closing with "End process".
Check your internet connection.
Disable your https://tipps.computerbild.de/unterhaltung/gaming/was-sind-add-ons-alle-infos-ueber-erweiterungen-427763.html. Click on the menu button. Go to the extensions via "Tools"> "Extensions". Disable all and then reactivate each one in turn.
Delete your https://tipps.computerbild.de/internet/browser/was-sind-cookies-und-koennen-sie-gefahrenlos-angenommen-werden-427739.html. Selecting the menu button will take you to your cookies and web page information via Settings> Advanced Settings> Privacy> Content Settings. Click on "delete all".
Override sandbox mode. If the Chrome browser then loads again, either your broken sandbox mode or malware is the cause. Remove the https://tipps.computerbild.de/software/sicherheit/malware-entfernen-429867.html or reinstall Google Chrome.
Reset Google Chrome by selecting Settings> Advanced Settings> Reset Browser Settings from the menu button and then logging in again.
Scan your computer for viruses and malware.

As a test, you can also run Task Manager while Chrome is active. So you see the current activities. Chrome is relatively heavy on memory and can greatly impact performance.

Maybe the set quality on YouTube videos is too demanding for your laptop. Watch the same YouTube videos again with lower quality and monitor how your PC's performance is developing.

In some cases, the replacement of certain components can help if this is possible for you. The search for a repair is not wrong, if the problem is not eliminated by the described approaches.

Resetting the laptop can help in some cases. If this does not help, then you should think about changing the browser. Browsers like Firefox, Opera or Microsoft Edge are not bad either and may work better with your laptop. Just give it a try.
