    I am using windows 7 and whenever i play a video in chrome browser on youtube, it hangs a bit (like shut down) and then start work after 4-5 seconds with message like "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" btw I am using 2GB RAM and 32 bit dual core processor.
    What is the reason behind this?

    Most likely a graphics issue, find out whether its ati or nviida go to their website and download the latest drivers

    Is it flash videos?

    If so right click the video, go to settings and disable hardware acceleration

    Good point, this is often a problem with Intel graphics
