Flash Videos Freezing Computer?
Aug 13, 2011
whenever i try to watch a Internet video or any online flash video through my usual browser firefox, the video will freeze the entire works. it's not every time. sometimes the video will play through but almost always it'll freeze everything. can't move cursor and only by closing lid and going into sleep mode can i get back up and running. firefox 3.6.18, video drivers updated. flash updated.one curious thing did happen tonight for first time however. while i was scrolling through bookmarks looking for this site the video stopped but i was able to continue using computer. could not get video to replay however. sometimes everything freezes but cursor goes into that "working circle" mode. but still can't get it to unfreeze.

i'm trying to work out some issues that have been plaguing my computer for a few weeks now. my problem is that my system will freeze and become unresponsive when watching Internet and other video players that use flash. i can't get back to normal even if i use ctrl + alt + delete or escape, forcing me to run a hard reset on my computer. an example of what i'll see is in the picture. so i uninstalled chrome, ran a full system scan and pc tuneup using norton 360, unistalled and reinstalled flash and uninstalled and reinstalled my nvidia gtx 560 ti driver.

i've been having an issue with flash content for the past three weeks now, i've tried just about anything and i'm becoming desperate. i've conducted a wide variety of tests on the various components in my build, but i'm still no closer to discovering what the issue may be. the issue occasionally, when watching flash content, my computer will freeze and i'll lose all control over the mouse and keyboard. it sounds like the computer is about to blue screen (looping audio), but it doesn't - it just hangs on the same image for anywhere between 15 seconds to 2 minutes. sometimes, i need to hard restart my system in order to use the computer again. this will typically happen when flash content is played full-screen on websites like Internet and twitch.tv, and on resolutions higher than 480p - but i have experienced (less frequent) crashes when the content is not full-screen, at 360p. it just seems to be video that causes the problem, as i've yet to have any issues with websites that present an alternative form of flash content. hardware: processor: intel i5-2500k @ 3.30ghzgraphics card: nvidia geforce gtx 570 1280mbmotherboard: asrock z68 extreme4 gen3memory: kingston hyperx genesis grey 8gbpsu: cooler master silent pro modular 700w nothing is overclocked, and i'm running windows 7 x64 home premium sp1. i've uploaded my dxdiag here. what have i done to try and diagnose the problem? -enabled and disabled hardware acceleration.-updated to latest graphics card drivers, also rolled back to previous versions i've known to work previously with my system.-monitored system usage/temperatures when watching hd flash content. nothing out of the ordinary.-ran memtestx86 for 24 hours. no errors.-ran prime95 blend for 24 hours. no errors.-furmark for 2 hours to test graphics card stability, things seemed fine. have been playing far cry 3 continuously on high settings for the past few days with zero instability.-i've tried downloading older versions of flash, and using different browsers. no change. when did it start? the issue started when i updated the bios for my motherboard (asrock z68 extreme4 gen3) from v1.20 to v2.20, since then i've updated to v2.30. i would roll back to v1.20, but it's simply not possible according to various sources i've read online. thoughts i'm pretty sure my hardware is fine. all the tests i've done indicate my system is stable when i'm not running flash content. i've been playing games, writing documents for university and browsing the internet with absolutely no issues (as long as i don't watch any flash content). i suspect there are compatibility issues with flash, my hardware setup and the latest bios updates from asrock, but maybe i've missed something.

I can't get sound from any of the web pages I've visited. I tried to install a codec package, and it won't allow me. I am the sole user of the computer, I'm running W7 64bit with a X-Fi soundcard. All other sound works fine and it is hooked up via spdif optical link to a seperate surround sound system.
Therefore, My first question, How do I get the sound to work?
2nd question, even if is or isn't the codec issue, why won't windows update the registry with the codec installation package (1402 error). I am the administrator!

I have had an issue recently that while watching HD videos, normally in MKV format... at random spots the video will freeze, a few seconds later the audio will freeze and then my whole OS will freeze causing me to do a hard reboot. I am running Windows 7 32-bit with the all current updates
ATI Radeon HD 3600 series graphics card
Creative SB X-Fi
Dell XPS 420
Intell Core Quad CPU 2.4 GHz
3072MB RAM
DirectX 11
It says that all of my drivers are up to date and I am not getting any error messages?

unfortunately I had to reinstall the OS on my notebook and now I stumbled upon this particular problem:
I use Mozilla's Firefox 8.0 and downloaded Adobe Flash Player, xvid-codecs and the DivX-Bundle. But it still is impossible for me to watch flash videos, e.g. those seen on VideoWeed, NovaMov, or Videobb. Where the video should be, all I get is white. When I right-click on it, I get: About Adobe flash player 11.1.102.55. It also doesn't work on IE9. I have already reinstalled all the aforementioned software, rebooted my system. Still didn't work. I also installed all the "Windows Update" downloads.

ok. i need to be clarified in some things that have popped up since some time. this is, if flash will come to an end? certainly, dhtml have evolved to an incredible state, that you don´t need to know actionscript or what the hell is that, to see real time motion in a web page since javascript can do it for you.
now, since people like to watch videos on the net and hd is gathering the whole market, .swf - .flv files, lack the power to accelerate gpu hardware meaning that videos on almost all computers will lag.
firefox, with its 3.5 introduced the power to reproduce h.264 videos and display hd content on the web without the need of the player.
people with this, did got convinced that flash would be obsolete and it will be thrown to darkness. but, adobe recently started negotiating with the manufacturers of commercial video cards, getting to an agreement to bring gpu acceleration through a web browser to the .swf and .flv files, meaning that hd videos streaming sites like Internet, which recently introduced 1080p playback, will be optimal when it comes to stream hd videos, which really sucked because of the lack of the gpu acceleration.
so now that .flv videos does support gpu acceleration through a web browser, think that a well elaborated scripting language as actionscript and everything related to it (.swf and .flv) will die? i want to know what you guys think about this.

Audio seems to cut out frequently. It's like I'm twisting the audio plug in the jack, if that makes sense. Sometimes it just cuts out, but other times it plays a split second of the audio on top of the next split second of audio. My sound card is a creative audigy SE. The drivers are up to date. I didn't have this problem with XP, so I think this is a software problem.

basically my old 6870 card died because of numerous BSODs it had over the 6 months throunh flash videos and it killed it with artifacts. I have recently received a brand new XFX 6870 and have been using it over a month and its been happening again with flash videos as occasionally get BSOD randomly like 30 mins or even over an hour. which is pointing out Error: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR file path: C:Windowssystem32driversatikmpag.sys
and
Error: VIDEO_TDR_ERROR
file path: C:Windowssystem32driversdxgkrnl.sys
its even happened once last night on a game FIFA 12 which restarted and had this error
Error: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
file path: C:Windowssystem32
toskrnl.exe
How will I be able to eliminate these problems? my system specs are below and I have built this system over 8 months and nothing is overclocked.

I recently built my first PC three days ago...
Specs:
i7 bloomfield 960 processor
4x4 vengeance ram
crosair hx850 PSU
evga x58 ftw3 mobo
hd 6870 radeon graphics xfx
When I first installed windows it started to work just fine but I soon noticed that it would randomly freeze every 15-30 minutes of use, but not on a particular program or anything. I assumed it was drivers so I installed the latest drivers for my GPU and MOBO and keyboard. It seemed fine again until it started crashing again. I ran a GPU burn test and a CPU burn test it passed both. (I tried runing memtest86+ but it froze at like 12%) Then I tried fixing the registry so I downloaded ccleaner and fixed the registry problems. Freezes continued. I finally decided to re install windows so I did and the problems still continued. I am at a loss of what to do and can't think of anything else.

I just bought all my parts, and I can't seem to get the computer stable. It is constantly BSOD or freezing and crashing during games. I've attached the SF diagnostic report for one of the dumps i guess.

I bought the laptop used about a month ago and everything seemed fine. A few days later I noticed that the fan was running a lot, so I read a tutorial online and used a can of compressed air to clean out/off any dust and such. Right away the fan/computer was much quieter. My situation now is that whenever I watch a video (Netflix, HULU or even something stored on my HD), within a minute or two the video freezes/locks up or sound and video are lagging quite a bit. I have no indications of malware/virus and it seems everything else is mostly fine with the computer. I did the Windows troubleshooting and it recommended lowering resolution and turning off Windows Transparency. I haven't done either because I wanted to ask for help before I start changing settings. I installed Core Temp. 1.0 about an hour ago and both Core's are running between 72-76 deg C with a Tj.Max of 85*C.

bought a pre-made from computer from tiger electronics last year in june.immediately, as in the day i got it, i started crashing when opening Internet.i solved that by turning off the realtime visualization or something along those lines and it was temporarily fixed. i began to have more start up problems and other stupid issues with the computer and their tech-support insisted that nothing was wrong and i'm an idiot but to satisfy me they'd change my hard drive. so that did nothing, and unless i want to pay a bunch for them to do a real check up on it i've been screwed. whenever i open a video, from windows media player to my flip video camera player my computer will instantly crash. whether it's a blue, green, white, or black screen it's different every time.

Ever since I got this computer (Dell XPS) about 3 years ago it has had problems with freezing but recently it has become much more frequent. It mainly happens when watching a movie or long video but has started happening any time, even when the computer is in sleep mode.

They were working then I rebooted the pc today and went to click on computer and nothing happens, the only thing is the little folder icon comes on the taskbar and that's it, it doesn't open.Also all of a sudden my events viewer doesn't work either, get this error, specified query is invalid 15001BTW system restore wasn't on, I guess when I fixed my booting problem it turned it off, the only drives that had restore enabled where my other 2 drives not the one I needed.

I have an old Toshiba Satellite L355-S7905 that was handed down to me back in 2009It gave me some problems beforehand (needed a new OS twice since I got it) but over the past year it's been fine. Suddenly, out of the blue, the OS crashed on me a few days ago.The crash was pretty bad and the OS wouldn't boot anymore. So, I did what any logical person would do; I reformatted my HDD (to ensure no viruses or spyware remained) and attempted to reinstall Win7 Ultimate. After the install, I manually updated all my drivers, and went underway resituating my programs. All was well with the universe, and then it happened.My system froze. One reboot later and it started freezing any time I tried to launch Firefox. Shortly after that, it started freezing whenever I tried launching any program at all. It even froze when I launched the Command Prompt. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to solve the problem of the CPU spiking then the system locking up. I've tried virus scans, registry cleaner, disk defragenation, and disk clean up
