Try blocking all blockable ads first: you will save your sanity and your 
bandwidth. If you still get a crash ads probably are not the culprit. If the 
site then loads normally, that's another matter.

Online ads are infamous for issues including serving malware. Still,  nothing 
beyond the browser should crash on ads (windows payloads should simply not 
run). Question that may be unanswerable is whether all ads or a particular 
buggy or malicious ad are causing this.

Note that I myself have limited experience with Youtube as I normally block all 
Google and Facebook content except over Tor and only use Youtube there to 
force-download video, often with the site stopped at half loaded.
