Random Freeze While Streaming Online Video
Nov 22, 2010
My home built computer has been having random crashes since August, but before then it worked fine. Historically, the crashes have happened in various situations, changing with each attempt to fix them. The most recent change I made to my system was to get rid of Norton Internet Security and replace it with Microsoft Security Essentials. Since then the crashes have become a bit more reproducible: about half the time I try to watch streaming video online the screen will freeze and the sound will stutter, requiring a hard reset.
I have run windows memory diagnostic, prime95, and various graphics card stress tests repeatedly, so I feel I can confidently say the problem is not hardware. Besides, this only started a few months ago, and my computer had been working just fine for a few months before then.

I get a BSOD/STOP error when streaming Hulu. The BSOD will appear after streaming roughly 10 minutes of video, then the system is set to restart so it will restart. After prompting safe mode etc. it will start as normal and we will be able to watch a video on Hulu plus all the way through with no errors [code] I moved files from an XP machine to this system using an external hard drive and Windows easy move (inbuilt Windows 7 wizard). I have used Lenovo's One Key recovery to recover the system but the BSOD still appears after a successful run. I do not remember if the BSOD occurred after the file move or right out of the box but I suspect that it was due to the file move. My IT guy at work has recommended a full system restore. I suppose I can search for a thread that explains such a procedure but wanted to know if a more knowledgeable person could come up with a different fix.In addition , and maybe related I cannot complete an update using Windows Update. I can download the updates just fine.But when it comes to applying them, the system will begin applying the updates with the progress bar, but after 2 minutes, I will receive a fail message everytime.

If I am streaming a video online the screen will get fuzzy and freeze. I will then get the blue screen which will mention that there is a problem with my display driver. This has happened many times. I won't be able to do anything after that. I can't even turn off the computer. I just have to wait for the battery to die so that it will turn off.

on my computer there are two accounts- an administrator and a standard account. everything works fine on the admin account, but the standard account is having some video problems. i can view Internet fine, but if i want to watch other streamed videos it won't let me. all i get is a black square where the player is or the black box with an 'x' in the corner. it also sometimes won't let me listen to streamed songs.
i got this windows 7 computer last year and i have had these problems from day one. every site i go to just talks about looking if there are parental controls on your account. i have checked and there are no controls placed on the standard account. there really isn't any difference between the two accounts except that one is called admin and the other is a normal account. i just tried to switch my standard account to an admin one and i still couldn't get the videos to work.

everytime i watch any online video the stream locks up on an arbitrary time (usually within a few seconds, but sometimes well into the video). refreshing the screen sometimes works, but more often than not, the video locks up at the exact same place. i've tried updating my video drivers. i've ran every scan i can think of, updated my flash player, cleaned my registry and i am totally at a loss as to why i'm having this issue. this issue happens with the vast majority of web videos i watch from netflix, hulu, Internet, you name it. this issue happens in ie and firefox. i have the latest versions of each. it was happening with previous versions as well.

I'm watching a video on my computer that I opened up in Firefox earlier, that's not available online anymore. I guess its 'buffered' in my system. I assume this means its stored in my cache. How do I access this?

i have a toshiba l510 notebook for about a year now.. about two weeks ago i was watching a video from animecrazy.net using google chrome as my browser. i just notice that the video took a lot of time to buffer which is unusual because before it was buffering fast. then i browse Internet and watch some videos and it was fine and the video is loading fast. then i tried other video streaming sites like megavideo and same situation with animecrazy.net. the video is loading slow... i was just bothered because all video streaming sites i browse except Internet are buffering slow...i also tried other browser like firefox and ie but the same happens..i am using windows 7 starter.

I just bought a new Hp desktop presario, when I first got it I could watch video from any source online and it would stream no problem. Then a couple of weeks ago things changed, now if I open a tv show from any of the online sources none of the shows will stream as before, they will run maybe up to 5 minutes and then pause. I then have to restart the video stream. I have tried both IE and Mozilla, I get the same result, I have updated FlashPlayer with no change. I can see that it is a system issue on my machine but cannot locate what needs to be reset. I have created a new user as well to see if that will work but nothing changes.

I am having problems with playback of streaming video from the internet.Sound and buffering do just fine, but the video is often so choppy that it is unwatchable.Considering this machine is hooked up to my Mitsubishi WD-65837 TV as a HTPC, this is unacceptable.
The machine is:
AMD Sempron 3200+ 1.8 Ghz
4 GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD5570
Windows 7 Ultimate, fresh install
Networked via ethernet to router to cable modem
Here are some points/things I have tried:
*local video plays back just fine via VLC
*It happens both in original window and full screen
*I have disabled hardware acceleration on Flash player
*It is not a router/network problem, as I have a Dell Studio Laptop via wireless and it plays streaming video just fine
*All drivers and Catalyst are up to date
*Fresh install of Windows 7, so it isn't a resource problem
*I have messed with every setting in Catalyst
*Speedtest and Pingtest come out 13 MB/s and A grade
*Happens in IE, FF, Opera, and Chrome.

I haven't been able to resolve. This is a new PC build, one month old, that has been having download issues, frequently freezing in the middle of downloads, and also freezes when watching streaming video. On file downloads, when it freezes, I can pause the download, then resume, and it will usually resume the download. I may have to do that 5-10 times to get the entire file. I was just watching a streaming video promo on buy.com's website (about 4 minutes long), and at 1 minute and 6 seconds the video freezes every time. I've tried to watch that video with IE, Firefox and Chrome, with the same results - freezing at 1 minute and 6 seconds with all three browsers. My regular web browsing seems to be very fast, no issues there (I have 6 mbps DSL). My network card has the latest driver (but I haven't tried to reinstall it). I have attached my PC info as a text file.

i have installed a windows 7 ultimate rtm trial on my pc and connected it to my internode nakedadsl2+ ultra net connection. it is an 18mbit connection with cat6 cables and when downloading a test file from internode's servers pulls about 1200kb/s.
i have noticed, ever since running 7085, that Internet and other video streaming sites (including facebook, collegehumour, etc.) that the buffering is very patchy. it does not seem to matter if it is a flash or vimeo or any other kind of video streaming. often times, i will be watching a video and the progress bar will catch up with the buffering and simply stop buffering. then when i try to re-watch the video, the already buffered material is in the cache and that is all that loads. it does not continue buffering from where it stopped. very annoying!
i also have a machine with xp which buffers much quicker and with minimal interruptions.
can anyone help with this and has anyone noticed the same thing?

I recently upgraded to windows 7 on all 3 of my home computers and i am loving it so far.There is 1 problem i can't solve myself and it has to do with my home server freezing up whenever another computer in my home network stream a dvd (or sometime even a small divx) movie from it.Strange thing is, the same setup worked flawlessly when i had vista on all my computers so that rules out that its any hardware issue (maybe a driver issue from nic or something?) PC1 where i think the problem is.My main computer with al the media on it im going refer to as server, this pc has Win 7 Ultimate x64 installed on it, intel core2duo E6850 @3,0Ghz, 4 gigs DDR2 memory and an Asus P5K motherboard.All my media is on a shared drive on this pc and all other pc's can access it through my home network. PC2 the one i use to watch movies.My 2nd pc is in the livingroom and hooked up to my flatpannel tv, this pc ill refer to as my mediacenter.This pc has windows 7 ultimate x32 installed. It has an Intel Pentium 4 3.4 CPU, 2 gigs DDR2 memory and an Abit AB9 Quad GT motherboard. My network settings.My home network is completely wired (no wireless devices whatsoever) and all connected through a netgear FVG318 Router. There is no password on sharing and every setting in my home network is set to share everything with all others in my network, so all if freely accessible.As said all my media is hosted on my server computer, there are DVD's divx movies and some music and pictures.Whenever i try to watch a DVD on my mediacenter the movie freezes, sometimes already in the titlescreen but also sometimes 5, 10 or even 30 minutes into the movie. The freezes are completely random i guess.The mediacenter workes fine after a freeze, only error i get is that it cannot connect to my server.When i goto my server i at first noticed that my network connection was lost on my server.After some trial and error i found out when i disable my networkcard on the server and after enabled it agian i could continue watching my movie on the mediacenter but it the freeze kept happening.Then i thought it might be a power save setting so i made a powersave scheme where nothing turns off, no hibernation and not even the display turns off.Also i changed some setting in the network card on my server telling it that it could not be turned off to save power.After all this done when i watch a DVD now on my mediacenter my whole server just freezes after a while.I still see the desktop screen and my mouse mointer but i cant move it, no error msge its just a frozen screen.I also browser my system logs and looked for errors around the time the freezes occur but i cant find anything related. the only errors i see are after the system halted.The log stated the system has been shut down unexpecedly (couse i pressed the off button) and after it restarts i see i couple of performance index errors (WmiApRpl).

Running web-based flash games has no effect.
Playing Flash videos in either regular or full screen will freeze PC to a point I have no option but to hard boot.
Long-term gaming has no issues, nor does long term PC "on-time".
An annoying "humm" is all i get besides a completely frozen desktop.
I have tested both IE 8, both 32bit and 64bit, and Firefox 3.55 32bit.
I have used the tools available from adobe to remove former versions, and reinstalled the newest available.
I came across a couple "tweaking solutions", but neither of which have worked.
1)disable java in firefox
2)disable hardware acceleration in Flash
I even went on to allow unlimited storage within flash for the sites i watch the most.
The videos can last anywhere from 2 seconds upwards of 30 minutes. No mouse movement, nothing else running, besides Comodo Firewall. (which I hope isn't the problem).
The last 2 things I have NOT tried yet is updating my BIOS, and a clean install. (original install was clean though)
This PC is a homebuild, and a completely new machine to me. SO i have yet to refine which drivers work best for me. It is only about 2 weeks old.

When I play audio or video files located on my NAS (Q-NAP DS-210) in Mediaplayer (on my mediacenter) and streams the media over DLNA (Twonky) the audio / video stutters annoyingly.My Mediacenter pc is running windows 7 64 bit Professional edition. It is connected to my Q-Nap DS210 NAS server through a 1Gb ethernet network. If i play the same audio / video files through a mapped network share i either mediaplayer or mediacenter everything works fine

I have two windows 7 computers connected to my router and one laptop with Windows 7 connected wirelessly, also WinVista 64bit connected to router.
Anytime I watch a movie through the network, it constantly stops and buffers. At least I assume its buffering.
I use VLC player and I've never had this problem until I switched up to Windows 7.
Is there any known issues with this type of problem. I can't find anything on Google.

I have a client that wants to stream everything what's going on on his childrens computers to an tablet (IOS & ANDROID & WINDOWS) so I think a mobile website would be the right thing?I'm searching for a software packet that provides that, without letting the user know what is happening so the child doesn't notice anything

I've been having a problem with my CPU maxing out on sites that use flash video for almost a year now. I've gone through all the checks for Malware and virus's using multiple programs. The problem only occurs when I'm live streaming from a site that uses JW player 5.10.2295, I have downgraded my Flash player to an older version 11.1.102.63 on the advise from a poster on the adobe forum site. I've recently ran a clean install and after only a day, the problem has started again, I'm using chrome browser, I have disabled the pepper flash plugin and I've also disabled hardware acceleration on the flash program.
The site that I use regularly is using the JW player to broadcast, There is High CPU usage for other flash sites(you tube, BBC I player) but my CPU is maxing out to 70/80 and the laptop is just about to handle it. I've had my laptop for about 3 years now and it's always been able to stream HD content with no issues, I also have an old win XP and apple mac air in the house and it has no issues streaming from any sites with high CPU.
My laptop spec is below..

BSOD when streaming video from windows media center to xbox360

I began seeing a blue screen about 5 months ago when I first got my computer, and after posting here with one BSOD report, I was informed of the fact that Avast Virus scanning software could be the culprit. After uninstalling the software, I no longer received the problem. 5 months later, the issue has come back. I've recently installed Fraps and Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5 on my machine. I saw the BSOD appear once again 2 days ago and it seems to appear while streaming video and installing a game. I also see my machine hard-lock while streaming video from time to time, but I think the BSOD does not officially trigger, so hard-locking is the result.

i go to bbc.co.uk/iplayer, i click on something i want to watch i get there and the page appears but with no pre-video image or play button.i have just down graded from windows 7 64bit to windows 7 32bit as i thought this may have been the problem, due to flash 64bit problems. so i have a fresh install of windows 7.i have tried quite a few things, please see the list below:1. both firefox, chrome, ie 9 & ie 10. all with no flash or java installed, i know this is not right, but something interesting happened. the website did exactly the same thing as before, there was nothing telling me on the bbc website that flash was needed and go here to download it.2. installed different versions of flash and java, and in combinations of old & old, old & new, new & old, new & new.3. i have tried older versions of browers, this made no difference.4. my wifes computer does the same thing with firefox and chrome, but ie 9 does work correctly. we copied all settings from internet options, ie 9's settings from her's to mine. still nothing.
5. i have tried clearing cashe, nothing changed.6. i have removed flash and java. then just installed google chrome, as this has flash built in. i then tried bbc iplayer and still nothing. i then install java, again nothing.7. there have been other website as well as bbc iplayer, that are not working.these problems happen in all browsers on my computer and on all browsers except ie9 on my wifes computer.my system:amd athlon ii x4 635 2.90ghzgeforce 8800gs4gb ramrunning windows 7 32bitmy wifes system:amd athlon 64 x2 dualcore 6000+ati radeon 64504bg ramrunning windows 7 64bithowever our sony vaio plays all video types on all browers, running windows 7 32bit.Internet runs fine on my computer. when i check flash version on adobe site the flash created box appears telling me my version. it seems odd that some types of flash run whilst others do not. when they're not working, there is no error message, just an empty box where the flash item should be.

(EDIT: Tried this one 32-bit and 64-bit verision of ultimate, using different ROMs if you guys are suggesting WIN7 format, last resort would be going back to XP but I got so adjusted to W7 now it would suck ..) have been having this problem for a while now and it is REALLY getting on my nerves!I am pretty good with computers and i'm sure I can follow instructions if you guys just give me a trail of what might be happening.I had none of these problems when using XP, I have been trying to uninstall NOD32 and replacing it with kaspersky, removing f.lux (screen light manipulating program), doing memtest which did not show any errors.What should I do about this?! Happens every one- or two days. gb RAM and if it would beF615M-P33 Microstar-something motherboard.it is driving me crazy.Btw, I searched through the whole internet but people mostly had this problem with reboots, while installing or just booting, didn't find anyone who had few sec freeze followed by whitescreen that forced me too reboot.

Just recently installed Windows 7 x64 RC1 (Build 7100) on my HP DV6000 notebook, it has core2duo and integrated video card, etc.
The main issue I am having is that, everything works just fine (even faster than vista sometimes, which originally came with my notebook), but randomly, the system will stop responding (everything about it, the system will even stop sending data packets out over wireless or lan), and the harddrive light will lit up (not blinking just constant lit).
The mouse usually can be moved about but it cannot be used to click anything. After a few minutes the system will go back to normal. This is absolutely horrible when I am playing a game, as I would have to keep my fingers on the keyboard just incase the game would "defrost" suddenly.
The same issue also happened when I install the 32bit of Windows 7 rc1 on the same notebook. However this is not happening on my P4 notebook (IBM R40) so I can only assume that this is a hardware issue. But I have no references/parameters on how to trouble-shoot this. Anyone got a clue?
