Full screen 1080p HTML5 video causes crash

[Adrian Serrano]

Playing any fullscreen video with YT's HTML5 player with 1080p will cause a crash after a few minutes of steady playback. The screen will go black, and then come back on with a frozen image of the video, while the audio continues to play in the background.

I am able to switch to virtual console and restart lightdm, but it runs extremely slow so I just end up rebooting.
