Start from repairing your Windows registry and fixing your Windows errors that become the cause of many browser and applications errors causing a conflict situation.
* Test your computer for viruses and spyware.
* Run SpeedTest to test whether you have sufficient bandwidth available to smoothly play YouTube videos without causing the site to run slower.
* Disconnect your internet and then reconnect it to know why is YouTube slow and whether it is because of the poor internet at your side.
* Disable ads through some of the browser plug in that will allow you to run fewer background services while you are playing videos online.
* Try to change your flash player version. Although the YouTube has started to stream videos through a new technology there is still a large number of web sites using the flash platform. So it is a nice idea to try to change the flash player version to play videos without crashes and error messages.
* Try to change your browser. One good browser to play YouTube videos is Chrome. If you have not tried that go for it. Also contact your ISP provider if they are limiting your bandwidth at specific durations of the day.
The above solutions will most likely fix and answer your question why is YouTube slow on your computer. However, it is highly recommended you follow all the guidelines especially optimizing your PC Windows for internal registry errors through a top registry cleaner reginout

1
Confirm the bandwidth of your Internet connection. The faster the connection, the smoother video playback will be. Hulu.com, provider of Flash video content, recommends a minimum 1 MBS (megabits per second) download speed to view its lowest quality encoded video format. 3.5 MBS will be needed to view high quality high definition (HD) Flash video files.

2
Upgrade your wireless router. Older wireless routers using the 802.11b standard have a maximum bandwidth of 1 MBS. This will be too slow for HD quality Flash video.

3
Confirm you have a strong wireless signal when connecting to the Internet through a wireless router. View the signal strength by accessing the wireless network settings in your operating system. If the strength is shown to be poor, your computer will not be able to retrieve the video fast enough to avoid buffering.
