Re: youtube video crash issue
First thing to do is eliminate extension(s) as the culprit
go into incognito mode and play a YT video and try to recreate the problem from the incognito window, if no problem than the issue arises from an installed extension and you can experiment from that point to figure out which one.

Re: youtube video crash issue
Could be related to VP8/VP9 codecs and Op's GPU not able to handle them. Try installing h264ify extension from the web store(sadly it's not maintained anymore but still works,at least on youtube's site),disable those codecs and see if it's better.Also update your GPU driver if needed.
