Buy Dell.
Or Apple, if you can afford.

My HP which I bought in September completely died last week. I’m now working on my Dell which is about 10-15 years old. It’s ancient, causes lots of problems, but is still working.

There’s a reason people pay more to get Apple products.

HP is problematic. Dell’s service is much better.
To: Zionist Conspirator
Normally when stuff like this happens, it's either an issue with the original installation of the OS/software, or something that was added after purchase causing a conflict. I used to build PCs from scratch, but in recent years I've purchased from Dell. First thing I do with a Dell PC is wipe the hard drive and rebuild the system from scratch using the disks they provide (a few things (drivers, etc.) may need to be downloaded before the rebuild). They install so much junk to the system that I want it gone. It is usually better to start from scratch than to try and delete the unnecessary clutter.
While I have avoided reboot/lockup issues for quite some time, I don't recommend the above to anyone unless they are willing to live with the possibility of struggles during a rebuild.

Get ready for a bunch or people to tell you to wipe the operating system, install Linux and download bit torrent to stream movies and tv for free.
You wouldn’t Havre any trouble pulling that off would you?
As for the AVG charges, either get a new card or have your bank block future charges from that vendor.

they sold me is an HP
Buying a bad PC can happen to anyone. I've owned Dells for 20 years, and have four right now. I always buy direct from Dell Refurb.
Surprisingly, I did have a problem with a purchase two years ago, but Dell took care of me right away.
Good luck ...

I’ve had my HP since ‘09 - got it for a contract at MS, used as a workstation for 3 years daily. Now its at home.
Once a drive crashed, otherwise never a problem.
To: Zionist Conspirator
Just a hint with the AVG subscription. Whatever credit card the subscription is charged to, dispute the charges, and have a new card with a new number issued.
Sometimes cancelling the card is the only way to break those automatic renewal deals. It usually happens to me when my credit card company sends me a new card with a new expiration date.

HP is problematic. Dells service is much better. It was Dell's amusingly called "tech support" that drove me to Apple in 2003. I've never looked back.

Uninstall Firefox; install Opera.

How much memory do you have? 8Mb, 16Mb? Turn off all other
apps when you’re streaming. Streaming video is beyond hoggish.
I have 2 Win-7 Pro 2009 HP industrial/office grade PCs, running just fine.

Since it’s an AMD processor, it could be overheating.

Go with the Dell. If you are having problems this soon they will only continue.

Did you try resetting the PC to factory specifications or formatting it ?

You mention it froze up twice while watching youtube videos, If the computer is a laptop maybe the video processor or even the computer process is heating up and locking up. Whether that is the problem or not, you might want to get a laptop cooler or what ever you call them, and if you get one try to get one that has a few fans that can be moved around so that the fans are cooling the hot spots on the back of the laptop. I don’t know how many brands sell this type but the one I got is called Cooler Master, or at least that is the name on the front of the laptop cooler facing me at my desk. Highly recommend it.
