Windows 7 crashes when watching Flash videos on the internet

[jmkmx]

Hey how you doing guys...



For the past few days my computer had crashed several times... now i came to realize the this always happens when I'm watching a video on youtube or any other website with flash player... i really don't know whats the issue with it... i have reinstalled the all the display and adobe drivers many times and nothing seems to work... although my computer doesn't crash every time a watch a video but it does once every 2 days and that started to annoy the crap out of me... cause it might damage my hardware some day ...

First of all, none of the issues your describing can cause hardware damage, they're all software-level. My first guess would be there's an issue with Flash Player. Have you tried different browsers and upgraded it to the latest version through adobe's website?

[jmkmx]

Yes sir... as i mention i have the latest Drivers from Adobe and also i have the the latest of both IE and Mozilla... and i still get the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH LOL yes on Windows 7 can you believe that...



PS: If my computer keeps crashing like that i believe i cant mess my hard drives up... dont u think?

I still doubt it's anything hardware-related. Run a malware scan using Malwarebytes.

The same is happening to me, I think it's likely to be a duff update tbh.

All,



I had this problem and the solution is to turn off hardware acceleration of flash.



when playing a flash video, right-click on the video and go to settings.



un-click the box that says "hardware acceleration"



Please spread the word on other forums. I've already registered on two forums to pass on the solution.

same problem here and this solution temporary worked for me yesterday but, again, I got two crashes today.



when I want to view some flashes Windows hang and nothing works even mouse and after 15 seconds PC reboot. (I installed last flash player)

Hi , I wanna know if that was happened when you watch the location videos .



And maybe your graphic card has a wrong settings or you should update driver for it .



Good luck

Hi,



This happens to me too. And I noticed that it started to happen when i updated the drivers of my NVIDIA GeForce G210. It improved the whole display with vibrant colors but as you know, Windows 7 started to crash intermittently too while I'm playing videos on VLC or through FlashPlayer. I've tried to turn off the hardware acceleration setting as well but it doesn't seem to help at all. Maybe I'm missing something here but I'll definitely try to rollback the videocard's driver and see if it works out.



Thanks,
