Maybe you accidentally something on a firewall popup and blocked youtube stream from pc. Try turning firewall off n try again?
I had a similar issue once. Removing the internet cable from the usb slot and plugging it into another slot helped. Though flushing your dns in command prompt should do the same trick with the command: ipconfig /flushdns
Sadly I can't re-install windows as I don't have the Win7 thingy. When I purchased this computer it came with Vista and a free online upgrade to Win7, but that can't be accessed anymore which leaves me rather stuck. I don't want to go back to using Vista. >_<"
Any idea how I can go into the Windows caore and editing the settings without breaking anything?
That means you are being throttled in some way, whether its your router or isp, im not sure but that link I gave you is a directly link to the location that the video is saved on their servers. Call your isp and see if they ever censor/throttle service for any reason.
The guy who suggested flushdns was a good idea too,
Open up cmd and type "ipconfig /flushdns"

No. Willing to bet you don't know what the registry does either.

I have disabled the firewall on my computer, but not the one on my router. How would I go about doing that?
And I don't think it's my router or ISP throttling YouTubes video stream - mostly because my provider never ever throttles anything, but also because I can access YouTube on both my phone, my old crappy laptop, my girlfriends old laptop and her new laptop; all through the very same router and ISP with no issues what so ever.
Try the HTML5 trial perhaps? youtube.com/html5
I recently also had some problems with Youtube. For me changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8 did the trick.
For some strange reason I can't access my router through 192.168.0.1 - this has never happened before. Will try to change DNS to 8.8.8.8 now
Can't seem to find where I change my DNS server, even though I've done it countless of times. I'm a goldfish I suppose, any pointers?

Bleh. No more tips?
Have you tried using it from entirely different network/internet connection? (one that you know it works for everyone else that uses it)
Just to rule out possibility of connection related issue from troubleshooting.

If you can't access your router, then try unplug the power of router for 10 seconds then plug back in.

Maybe your fire wall or antivirus is blocking...
