Flash content hard crashes computer, no matter what I do

I have gone to the end of the earth to find a solution to this problem and I cannot figure it out.
I've tried older video drivers(nvidia, gtx460), I've tried newest, a little older.
I've tried as many different versions of Flash player I could find
Both combinations of flash player and video driver have been interchanged with more combinations than a Yahtzee dice game.
Computer build is less than a year old.
This crash was happening for a couple weeks very intermittently, then it got worse, then one of the lockups CAUSED BY FLASH to caused my operating system to become corrupt. THEN, even after a full format and reinstall, FLASH STILL CRASHED MY COMPUTER.
Every single piece of computer hardware has been stress tested and temperature monitored.
New PSU was installed (corsair hx750)
Tried a different Graphics card.
Nothing. And I mean NOTHING. Stops my computer from hard crashing from flash content(videos mostly).
It causes either a complete powerdown INSTANTLY, then my computer restarts. OR the other crash it does is complete LOCKUP with a horrible sounding static sound loop.
Please help!

All I can really say about that is that you're the only person I'm seeing complaining of these systems.  With 1.2 billion users, we'd be hearing about it if Flash was somehow magically able to cause this through normal operation (it's not).  The fact that your machine is powering off points to a hardware problem. 
If you feel that you've exhausted your troubleshooting efforts there and are able to use the computer successfully without Flash Player installed, I'd recommend uninstalling:
Uninstall Flash Player | Windows
Alternatively, if you have a sound card that isn't built onto the motherboard chipsets, you might yank it and see if your system stability improves, since it sounds like you've done that with the video card already.

  • Catalyst/Chromium causes screen to flash wildly then crashes computer.

    I'm using catalyst-test-pxp 14.3-1 and chromium 35.0.1916.153-1. I am using 2 monitors. The main one being my laptop's screen (LVDS) to the right and my secondary screen (CRT1) to my left. Previously I had used a single screen configuration, however after reconfiguring xorg.conf with aticonfig, spawning chromium will cause the screen to flash wildly and crash the computer, forcing me to hit the power button and wait for the system to power off. Here are some pictures that show what's happening: http://imgur.com/GidiC8p,0pna75I. Sorry for the poor formatting but I'm using elinks until xorg is fixed.
    I understand that using a pastebin is discouraged over using the "code" tags, but I can't paste anything in the environment I'm in right now.

    For clarification. I have 2 dedicated radeon cards. This is not a mistake.
    I'd really appreciate any help given.

    I'm going to jump on this dogpile with a "me too" post.
    About my setup:  2 year old workstation, Intel Core2 Duo, 4 GB RAM, ATI Radeon 2600PRO graphics card, all up to date on Windows patches, latest device drivers, etc.
    Until now the system was totally stable.  For the past 1-2 weeks, anytime I try to play videos on CNN's website (which uses Flash), my system freezes-- no response from mouse, keyboard, anything.  Only way out is a hard reset.
    I've opened the case and checked all connections.  Pulled and re-seated memory, even switched the slots each stick is in.  Pulled and re-seated graphics card.  Cleaned CPU and graphics heatsinks with compressed air.  Verified all fans are working.  Replaced the power supply with a new Corsair 650w.  Ran utilities to verify CPU and GPU temps, and found all to be very good (it's a well cooled case).
    I've completely uninstalled all traces of Flash using the Adobe Flash Uninstaller, after killing all but essential processes (to make sure nothing had Flash open).  Then I reinstalled the latest version available today (10 Feb 2011).  Both the ActiveX component for IE8, and the Firefox version, still bring about a system lockup.
    The only, and I mean ONLY thing that ever crashes this computer is playing Flash videos, usually from CNN.
    It does not matter if I am viewing in IE8 or the latest version of Firefox.  Result is exactly the same, on exactly the same videos, regardless of browser.
    If this is truly a device driver issue, then it is ONLY triggered by Flash.  I'm a very busy telecommuter who spends as much as 10-12 hours a day on this machine for both work and recreation.  No other software of any kind causes this PC to lock up, so this is clearly a Flash-triggered problem.

  • Update to Flash Player 11 has caused our Flash content to crash the Flash Player plugin. Why?

    I work for a health and safety training company and we've create a SCORM compliant course using Flash that has been imported into Absorb LMS (our own instance of it www.astutis-elearning.com).  There are nine modules in the course each developed using Flash Professional CS5.5.
    These all worked fine using the Flash Player 10.3 plugin but since the Flash Player update to 11 our modules (not all Flash content) crash the plugin at certain places.  Some modules load fine and then crash later, some modules get through the preloader scene and then crash as soon as it gets to the main menu.  We've done some testing and don't know if it could be a Flash component that is causing the issue.  At any rate, they used to work with 10.3 and they don't work with 11.  We've tried on a number of machines and browsers.  Its the same on all of them.
    I am prepared to provide a login for people willing to help to see what is causing the problem.
    This is an important issue as we have people who are currently on the course that may not be able to complete the course if they upgrade their version of Flash to the latest version.  I hope I have provided enough information.  Let me know if you need any more.

    Paul and DevChaz,
    Like you, I am a Flash Developer at a company that creates eLearning.  Therefore, I assume that the way that we use Flash is very similar.  I was quite excited as I read through this thread since I have been experiencing very similar browser crashes in my newer courses since FP11 came out.  Like you, we have recently upgraded to CS5.5.
    All of my crashes are with AS2 courses.  I would be curious to know if yours are AS2 or AS3.
    Anyway, I took my use case, saved the flas down to CS4 and recompiled all the swfs.  This did not fix the problem as it did for you (see DevChaz's earlier post in this thread dated Oct 12, 2011 4:46 PM).
    I have my problem logged in the Adobe BugBase here:
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3018637
    fpMonster,
    I have recently added my cs4 versus cs5.5 compiled use_case on bugbase.  I am hoping that you'll look at this use_case and compare it to PaulGray's use_case to see why my use_case does NOT work correctly when compiled in a lower version of the Flash IDE.  In addition, perhaps you could share notes regarding this issue with someone at BugBase.  Thanks in advance.

  • Hard crash....what does this mean????

    I had a hard crash with a bunch of junk on my screen. Out of the junk I saw "system failure, CPU 1".
    I have since booted up ok. Does that error or crash mean my computer is failing?
    Help? I have a bunch of jobs pending. What do I do?

    I didnt find much in crash reporter or the console but I did find this in library/logs/panic.log and it is relative to CPU 1. Everything else is for the wrong date. In the report below I included one from Jan 31 too because it looks like it happened before.

  • Flash player refusing to work no matter what I do.  Been going on for months now.  Help?

    Windows 7 (64 bit)
    Chrome (32 bit) (ver. 27.0.1453.116 m)
    Flash 11.7.700.225
    It seems like, no matter what I do, Flash player will not work.  Keep in mind that I have already tried disabling/enabling both the plugin that comes with Chrome, along with the plugin that you can manually install from Adobe, and that alone doesn't solve my problem. 
    If I try to play videos on Youtube, I get one of four results:
    1) "This video is currently unavailable," which can come up if I have one of the plugins enabled.  I can sometimes solve this by disabling both plugins, but that only works about 25% of the time. 
    2) The Youtube player just shows black and nothing else.  No audio/video and no indication that anything is playing.  Like with #1, this can also come up if I have a plugin enabled, and can sometimes be solved like in #1.  But again, this only works semi-occasionally.
    3) I get the prompt to update my flash player.  This can come up if I have both plugins disabled, and I have yet to find a solution for it (yes, I've already uninstalled flash with Adobe's official uninstaller, and reinstalled it to confirm I have the most recent version).  If I enable any of the two plugins, I get an error message like in either #1 or #2. 
    4) The video plays fine.  This only happens about 10% of the time, and is split half/half in terms of requiring the plugin on/off. 
    So far, I have done the following in order to solve my flash problem, to no avail:
    -disabled/enabled both plugins (mentioned above)
    -uinstalled/reinstalled Flash Player using Adobe's official programs (mentioned above)
    -tried using Firefox
    -tried using the HTML5 player as an alternative (never works)
    -disabled/reenabled every plugin one by one
    -disabled/reenabled all extensions, and even tried browsing in Incognito Mode
    -tried making an exception for Flash in Windows Firewall
    -scanned for and cleaned up any viruses/malware/adware/spyware

    The first thing I would try is to update the graphics drivers; see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

  • Flash CS3 hard crash on Debug Movie

    I've logged this bug but wanted to post it to the boards in
    case anyone else is having this same problem. It's been going on
    since I purchased Flash CS3 pro and has been really crippling my
    development workflow because I can only get the debugger to work
    maybe 1 in 4 times.
    I also tried reinstalling the latest Java hoping that might
    help as the bug referenced Java.
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Debug Movie (Flash CS3 IDE) with licensed off-the-shelf
    Flash CS3 Pro.
    Notes: "About Flash" shows version as: 9.0
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS3\Flash.exe properties
    shows version as 9.0.0.494
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html
    "Adobe Flash Player Update for Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)"
    never seems to "take" no matter how many times I apply it and
    restart.
    Results: Immediate crash of Flash IDE
    And unable to re-open Flash IDE by clicking on an FLA file or
    Flash Shortcut, which give the message "Windows cannot find
    '[filename]' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
    again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click
    Search." Must restart or logout in order to be able to open Flash
    again.
    Expected results:
    No crash, debugger should work.

    It's been a year since, still not solution!?
    I am having similar problem for the last 6 months!!

  • Flash froze and crashed computer

    I was playing a flash-based game when the game completely locked up my computer, and the only possible solution was to do a hard reboot (pressing and holding the power key). I waited and then restarted, but the screen had vertical and horizontal pixelated lines running through it all, and it froze several times during the startup process. The computer restarted itself several times, but it kept freezing while still in the grey screen.
    I tried starting it in safe mode, but I got the same results. An attempt to run from the Lion restore drive didn't work, either. I reset the SMC and PRAM, and while resetting the PRAM changed the nature of the lines on the screen (narrowed them down), it didn't help, either.
    I finally got it to boot up, only to have it crash again when I attempted to watch a game on MLB.tv, which uses a Flash player. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash, to no effect.
    All of this started after the latest software update from Apple. My data is backed up, but not through Time Machine.
    I have a 2008 16" MBP running the most updated version of Lion.

    You have a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros (do this only if you know how to restore, and you have at least two independent backups.) Don’t erase the Lion recovery partition, if present.

  • Installed Yosemite yesterday and had 4 hard crashes so far. What's going on?

    I have a 27" iMac(late 2012) 16gb memory and 3.2 ghz i5 processor. I upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite yesterday and my computer has crashed 4 times since then. Black screen, apple message, then restart. What's wrong with the new OS?

    Johnny, i run OS X 10.10 on a 5 year old iMac. No bugs worth mentioning. We also have a MBA 2013. No bugs. The problems people encounter are mostly caused bij third-party apps or unsupported hardware. I've seen many upgrades of OS X coming by. And it's always the same story. people install the new OS X as soon as possible, not wondering if their hard- and software is up to it, in may cases not even bother to make a decent backup, just in case something goes wrong.
    ANd then they find themselves in trouble after install. They conclude: the new OS wasn't ready for launch. The facts: These users weren't ready for launch.
    i Suggest we focus here on helping the TS in finding the cause of his crashes. The fact you have (different) problems too is not helping rprietz in any way.

  • Playing DVD Crashes MBP (no matter what dvd player software I use)

    Current specs:
    OSX 10.6.6
    2.8 GH Core 2 Duo
    8GB DDR3 RAM
    512MB GeForce 9600M GT
    I first got my mac book pro from a friend and did a fresh install of OSX. I dont believe I ever tried to play any dvd's on it until now (months later).
    Originally when I got installed, I went through and deleted a lot of the default mac apps using appzapper that I didn't want cluttering up my install, and that included "DVD Player".
    Fast forward a few months, I try to play DVD in vlc and it crashes vlc. I cant open the file on the disk directly, nor can i just go to "open disc". if i click it it spins up and then it stays at zero and wont play. If i try to view the file right on the dvd with vlc it either crashes or plays a garbled 2-10 seconds and then crashes
    I ended up figuring this was because i deleted dvd player and must have deleted some codec or something along with it... after googling i remember people saying they deleted dvd player and had problems. So i got Pacifist and installed dvd player directly onto the computer
    Same issue, vlc crashes, and now when i put in a dvd, DVD Player stops responding immediately. if i start up dvd player first with no disk in, it loads fine. when i put the dvd in it just stops responding and wont play.
    so far I have
    1. deleted preferences in dvd player
    2. I'm POSITIVE it's not the dvd. i just watched the dvd in my friends older mac laptop. Likewise, every dvd i rent from redbox will do this so i know its not just this particular dvd
    3. CD's load just fine from the player, just not dvd's
    4. ive tried changing the display interlace quality from the view menu in dvd player
    5. I tried making a new admin account and playing it with dvd player from there and the same thing happened, just stopped responding
    6. I just tried zapping PRAM and NVRAM (command option P + R), still no dice
    7. Okay, i just tried opening in VLC media player with 'no dvd menus' and it didnt crash.. it still didnt play but it at least allowed me to see the error output (see down below the post)
    The only thing i can think of is i somehow corrupted some basic fundamental/hardware-software interface driver or soemthing that allows dvd's to be read (codec? i have no idea), as it crashes any dvd app I have tried. (so far only vlc and dvd player). I tried in quicktime but couldnt find how to open a dvd
    Thanks!

    Having tried to re-install the DVD Player application it might be worth applying the 10.6.6 combo update (not the update via Software Update). From the threads I've read here it can often help with issues in this kind of area. Other than that it might be worth backing up your files and consider starting with a fresh copy of OS X. For all the space these apps take up I'd probably recommend leaving all the Apple ones alone.
    I take it you have the same problem in Front Row too?

  • Flash Player keeps crashing computer

    Hello, I am new at this forums. Basically in the last few weeks my computer started crashing when I access some web sites that uses flash player, could be and add or video, it has been happening randomly!!
    I get the blue screen, and I am afraid if it keeps happening it might damage my system
    I am using Windows XP SP3, I use IE8, I always install the latest flash player (now I have 11.7.700.169)
    Updated my video driver...I tried disabling and enabling the accelerator, but no change.
    After the computer recover from the blue screen I get a message that windows recovered from a serious problem with those lines:
    BCCode : 1000008e     BCP1 : E0000001     BCP2 : B8390925     BCP3 : A025D740
    BCP4 : 00000000     OSVer : 5_1_2600     SP : 3_0     Product : 256_1
    Please help me as this problem is affecting my work and slowing me down not mentioning the anxiety.
    I heard it's a problem from Flash Player, but I was hoping the latest update will fix, well it didn't

    Am I the only one with this problem?? I know that FP was causing this crashes and their latest release was supposed to fix it.
    At least somebody let me know that I am not the only one!!

Iv contacted apple and have even taken to ipd into the store but they were no help. my friend had experienced the same thing and said she tried for a year until one day her computer just decided to read her ipod. can somebody help me.........

  • Firefox crashes on pages with Flash content

    MacOS 10.6.5 on a 2008 MacBook Pro
    Firefox 3.6.13
    See below for Flash Player version info
    Well I just updated to a new version of Firefox (3.6.13) and I had Flash Player 10.1 installed. Every time I open any web site with Flash content, Firefox crashes. This happens with Yahoo Mail, CNN, New York Times, etc. So I disabled Flash temporarily, and my Yahoo Mail no longer crashed. Of course I can't watch any online videos now....
    I tried uninstalling Flash Player 10.1 using the Adobe uninstaller, and then re-installing it. No go. I tried the beta 10.2... still crashed. Finally I found a version of Flash 9 for Mac on Adobe's web site, and that does indeed work. Of course it's an older version, but at least I can use Firefox. The bad news is that the plugin is used by Safari also.
    Any ideas?

    I tried something else for now, since I'm using Flash Player 9 on my main system hard drive at the moment....
    I have a bootable 48GB SSD in my ExpressCard slot. I often use it since it's faster. It has the same configuration of Firefox 3.6.13 and FlashPlayer 10.1, but it seems to have no problems. I right clicked a Flash animation and the hardware acceleration in on. Now why would it work on my SSD drive, but not my main hard drive?

  • Flash content shows lines

    I've inserted a flash animation in dreamweaver but it is
    showing a white line on the top and left sides and the animation
    image has lost it's frame line on the bottom and right side. First
    time inserting flash content and unable to figure out what I've
    done wrong.
    link:
    http://www.katepotteryoga.ca/index2.html

    Try to disable Hardware Acceleration (Flash Player Settings).

  • SOLUTION: Flash Player 9 crashing

    After a couple hours of trying to figure out why everything
    that attempted to access Flash content was crashing, I finally
    figured the problem.
    It seems that Flash Player is installed in the SYSWOW64
    folder on x64 OS (I myself use Vista Ultimate 64). Then I stumbled
    upon Flash also installed in my system32 folder. It seems this was
    causing a confliuct and crashing my IRE, Firefox, AIM, etc. So just
    delete the Flash folder in system32/Macromed and Flash will not
    crash everytime now.
    It seems third-party Flash applications that do not support
    x64 architecture install Flash automatically when it doesn't detect
    the folder in system32, causing Flash to crash.
    Hope this helps any x64 users out there.

    Yep, got similar probs with Win2000 o/s and either IE 6 or
    Firefox 2 - certain sites with flash content cause either browser
    to crash and generate Windoze error logs -
    Anyone know the filename of this log(s) / where they are in
    Win 2k? - done some searches, but to no avail!
