Video Buffering Problems Troubleshooting

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I am having problems with Video Buffering and wondering how to fix it?” - Jenna K., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Overview of Video Buffering Problems

Video buffering problems can affect how much time it takes to download a video onto your computer or how easily you will be able to enjoy it. When the video refuses to download or takes forever to begin, it can be frustrating and can hinder your ability to enjoy movies or other videos.

When you are having video buffering problems many different reasons can be attributed to it. One of these is that your Internet connection may not be as strong as it needs to be to buffer the video on a timely basis.

Another reason can be because the processor may be tied up running other applications and processes at the same time as you are trying to download a video. Some memory space may need to be freed up in your computer, especially if are a frequent downloader of games or videos.

Another cause may simply be the website itself, but you need to determine if your computer is the issue or if the website is the problem.

What Problems are Associated with Video Buffering Problems?

The bad thing is that video buffering problems can also cause your computer to freeze or it can cause your system to crash. This is something that you definitely do not want to happen, but it is very common when your computer is trying to download videos to allow you to watch it.

If you are having slow response time or are getting error messages, you will want to determine what the issue is to help your computer to work better and allow you to watch videos. The thing about error messages is that they normally let you know where the error is in your system and this can be the key to fixing it once and for all.

Unfortunately, your PC can be the issue, rather than the website itself, so it is important that you take the time to evaluate your PC, as well as your settings. This can ensure that you will be able to download the video without the video buffering problems to enjoy what you are watching without many of the computer issues that you are having.

With proper PC maintenance, video buffering problems don’t have to be something you have to deal with on a regular basis.
