Updates seem to make things worse, not better

I tend to install all the available updates as they come up through my 
update manager. I used to be able to watch YouTube videos, now I can't. 
And more often than ever when I am surfing to any kind of web site my 
laptop will freeze. I can use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to get out and log back 
in, but the only thing that stays active is my network connection, 
everything else crashes, and if I haven't saved my work I often lose it 
too. I've gotten into the habit of saving often, but it's still a royal 
pain that the patches not only aren't helping my system's stability, but 
seem to be making it worse. I don't even bother trying to watch YouTube 
anymore. I get nothing but blank screens and system freezes.
