Problem with TwitchTV and YouTube

Hi, I have a problem with connection to YouTube and Twitch on my PC. The problem is that both YouTube and Twitch seem to lose connection for some reason, sometimes it works good and then suddenly drops to 0, which makes watching movies/stream impossible. Everything else works fine, I am able to download a file at 15MB/s with no problem, my ping in games like LoL varies between 38-40, and I am not losing any packets(checked with 100/1000 pings to Google).

 

I am interested what could be wrong with my PC since only Twitch and YouTube have this problem. I have re-installed flash, cleared cache and cookies and tried different browsers.

 

Now the funny thing, the problem seems to occur only on my PC, every notebook/smartphone in house is able to watch videos/streams with no problems at all. This is where I gave up because I don't know why streams would play in 1080p+ on my notebook but lag on my PC.

 

Thank you for help, Shunkan

I don't use Windows firewall, and I tried with antivirus turned off, same issue.
