Flash repeatedly makes laptop freeze

I use Firefox on a MacBook running OS X Mavericks. Previously, everything ran fine, but in the last two weeks, doing Flash-based things such as watching Netflix, listening to Pandora Radio, etc, all make my computer freeze without warning. Doing something as simple as moving the window makes my computer freeze. I'll get the spinning beach ball for a second, and then it'll seize up, and I have to manually reboot the computer to get it working again. Flash has always been a CPU hogger, but my computer is only 1 1/2 years old, so it should be able to handle the demands. I've had to temporarily switch to Google Chrome just to run these sites without issue, but I'd rather use Firefox. And yes, I did everything suggested in the troubleshooting article and I even ran some maintenance programs on my computer, but it made no difference.

There are many troubleshooting articles, I just wanted to make sure. Could you please try to run Firefox in safe mode to see if the problem goes away?
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item: 
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]] 
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
Thank you.

Cooling fan makes noise n laptop freezes

hi,
i got a satellite -215 S4747
after i start my cooling fan starts making some noise as if its struggling to rotate, n within few minutes laptop freezez,,
i got it checked der was no dust or anything found on the fan..
pls help.

Is your model A215-S4747? Support site here
If there is no dirt clogging the heat sink fins, and none in the fan blades, then it may be the fan itself is/has failed. replace fan or attempt to relube existing fan. search the internet on how to restore a fan by relubing. I think replace would be better, and what you may ultimately have to do anyway.

video. when I do so,I can hear the video play really slowly in the background usually but sometimes it just makes a low pitched buzzing sound. Its been going on for quite a while and i dont know how to fix it so please help.

Safari 4.0.5 Flash problem, whole system freezes

I have just updated to Safari 4.0.5 and when I visit a website that uses flash, my whole macbook freezes, I can't force quit any application, I can't even move the mouse.
I have uninstalled flash and now it is working properly, but that is not a solution, all my other browsers were affected, Chrome, Firefox.
What do you suggest? I really need flash

HI Dan,
Try maintenance..
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting *3rd party plugins or input managers* which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
If nothing able helps, post a Safari crash report.
How to locate a crash log:
Open Finder.
Click "Go" in the menu, then select "Go to Folder".
Copy and paste this path into the Finder dialog: ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/
Click the Go button.
Finder opens the folder containing the crash log. Look for a the crash file with a date field that looks like the *most recent.*

When streaming a live webcast laptop freezes

I have attempted two webcast using Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3.2 and about 20 minutes into the webcast my laptop freezes. I have to shut-down holding down the power button to re-boot and restart Encoder to resume live stream. Looking at the encoding log I did not see any problems like "drops" to alert me that I may encounter a problem.

I am new to working with video and do not have clue what might be causing this problem other than laptop upgrades needed?

It sounds as if there is a problem with the TV\Monitor. I note that you have not specified what other inputs the device has. That would help. You call it a monitor. Most of the rest of us are using LCD displays. It is only 20 inch per your description. I wouldn't use it if it wouldn't accept a video signal with a resolution higher than 1024 x 768.

On start up, my laptop freezes on configuring updates and reboots

On start up, my laptop freezes on configuring updates and reboots. It doesn't even let me put in my password. It automatically reboots and keeps doing tyhe same thing over and over again.... I need help!!!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It is normal for configuring updates to takee a while, appear to be froen, and reboot a few times depending on how many windows updates there were. If it is still doing so, there may have been a bad update causing your computer to act this way. Were they Windows Updates or some program you just installed?
What is the make and model of your computer and version of Windows you are using.
If need be, did you create recovery disks when you got the computer?

New v11.5 makes Firefox freeze: Is there a remedy?

Blithely downloaded v11.5 today. Opened my regular bridge application in Firefox, bbo (bridgebase.com) and the Flash player froze Firefox (v 16.0.2). I'm on Vista Premiium.
Ctrl+Alt+Del said Flash Player was using 90-100% of my cpu.
I uninstalled v11.5, found v10.3 at the adobe site, reinstalled that, and everything's working.
Surprised v11.5 wasn't tested to avoid such a problem. Anyone know a remedy?
alanpmcd

(1) I've already, some time ago after previous Flash problems, taken
step 1 in the trouble-shooting, i.e. disabled Real Player Record plugin
(2) I've removed v11.5 to install v10.3. This morning (uk time) I
can't seem to get back to download v11.5. Every route I take to
download takes me to v10.3. And this version makes my bridge work
So for the moment I'm happy, though I'd be glad to try more
troubleshooting if you can tell me how to get to download v11.5.

Laptop freeze for no reason

Hello, I have a problem that has apperead the last two weeks.. I own a dv6-3150 hp notebook. I have it for 4 years. A month ago I had some freezing and then everytime my pc restarted i and t would check the c folder for errors. So I took it to service where the found a failed hard drive and replaced it. I thought that this would solve the problem now as I have a new HDD.Also they cleaned the laptop from dust and now it doesn't make any noise. However, what is going now is that when I am surfing on the internet or playing an online games randomly after 3 or 4 hours of use my pc will freeze cursor as well and the only thing that I have to do is manually turn it off from the button. I searched a lot on the internet to find any reason for this, but the only thing I found was antivirus programs, failed hardware , drivers and overheating. As I got it back recently from the service I surely have no hardware issues , a clean laptop and I can't find something that make this freezing to happen. I even went to power management and lowered the maximum performance of my cores to 85% so now it doesn't heat at all. I also made a memory test and my card and hdd seemed fine. Yesterday it didnt freeze at all and i was happy. But today when I turned it on it froze on the start up screen! I read somewhere that It could be useful to press f10 and access the bios but even there it asks me a password that I do not have. I really don't know what 's the problem. As I sent it to hp service 3 weeks ago, it was checked. The only thing that come to my my is maybe false installment of windows but I don't even know if that is cause eveything works ok. Also I changed my iantivirus program.But I have a fear everytime I use my pc for a freeze that may happen any time. Can you help me?

You say "it started with iMovie", so I assume that up until two weeks ago your machine was running fine? I'd start by uninstalling Iphoto library manager as you say it doesn't work for you anyway.
Next thing I would do would be to create a new admin account, log out of your current account and in to the new one. Do the freezes continue? Report back your findings please.

How do i change my back ground if my laptop freezes every time i open the display setting?

Every time i open my display setting to change my ground my laptop freezes and i have to force quit all my open things. Right now my background is just blue i didn't make it blue it just turned that way when this problem started to occur.

How do I stop my whole laptop freezing when I use Firefox to visit a site that uses Java aplets?

For the last few weeks, whenever I've used Firefox to visit a trusted site that uses Java aplets, I've got a warning advising me to update Java. But when I check Java, it tells me I already have the most up to date version. However, as of today, whenever I visit the same trusted site my whole laptop freezes - cursor disappears, everything stops. I can't even use Restart - I have to manually disconnect the power. The same happens when I attempt to access Java via the Control Panel (to uninstall) - the moment the cursor hovers over Java, everything freezes and I have to disconnect power. I'm using Vista Home Premium SP2 32-bit. HELP!!

Potentially unsafe versions of the Java plugin are "Click to Play" blocked, meaning that you have to click to activate Java for each site. See the [[How to enable Java if it's been blocked]] article for more information.
'''Note:''' To make sure that your Java plugin is working, you can visit the test pages listed in the article, [[Use the Java plugin to view interactive content on websites]]. If an "Activate Java" message box appears, click inside the box to activate the Java plugin.
When you see the "Activate Java" message box, simply click it to load the Java content normally.
 
[[Image:Fx24-JavaActivate]]
If there is no visible area to activate Java content in the page, click the red plugin icon in the address bar. In the message panel that opens, choose "Allow Now" to enable Java content temporarily.
 
[[Image:Fx24-JavaAllowNow]]
 
The next time you visit the site or any other that uses Java you will see this message again.
If you want to always activate Java for a particular site, you can use the "Allow and Remember" option shown above.
After activating Java, you may also see a "Security Warning" dialog box, asking you to confirm that you want to run Java. This warning comes from Java itself, not from Firefox.
NOTE: After following the above steps, your computer may freeze for around one minute while the Java program is loaded.
Does this solve your problem? Please report back soon.

My laptop freezes on me

Dear support,
I bought my HP Pavilion dv5 in April 2011. Recently I started to notice that my laptop started to slow down while I am working. It took me longer to open tabs, videos, etc. Couple of times it showed blue screen and rebooted itself. IT support at my University recommended me to buy a new hard rive.
I purchased 320Gb, 5400rpm Wester Digital Laptop Mainstream and replaced the old one. Now I have another problem - the laptop occasionally freezes on me. Though I haven't seen blue screen any more by now, it doesn't look like works much faster as well. I couldn't find out the pattern what makes it freeze. I performed Diagnostic for the hard drive and it shows it 100% fine.
Can you help me find out what could go wrong and how to fix it?
Thank you very much.
Sergey.

What is your Product Number and what O/S are you using? And when was the last time you dissembled the laptop and clean the vents/fan from dust? Sounds like it's overheating or bad memory but until you clean the dust out and check your moemory to make sure they are connected right that might also cause the freeze or reboot as well.

what's the problem?

Laptop freezes while on battery power.

I have Arch 64 bit install on a Thinkpad T510. While the laptop is plugged into power, it is rock solid and can run for days without a crash.
The laptop freezes up quite often when it is running on battery power. After anything from 15 minutes to an hour, it will probably freeze. I cannot switch to a tty, I just have to do a hard reset.

I'm not sure if tracker could be causing the problem, or if it is something else.
I have the discrete graphics card enabled - NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [NVS 3100M]

It might not necessarily be caused by loss of power, but maybe if the battery power dips? Or if the battery gets too hot and something overheats, then that could cause freezing. I'm only going by what I've found on google.
Anyway, I found another thread (not sure why I didn't see it before) that suggests that it might be caused by bluetooth (bluez specifically) https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=115814, but it seems like that was more of a locking up problem than freezing completely. I've remove bluez and disabled bluetooth for now anyway (unfortunately can't remove it completely because I'm on Gnome Shell) and I'll run on battery for a good while and see if things freeze again.
EDIT: also followed this - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HDAPS in case the problem was caused by the hard drive being moved about.

Win 8.1 upgrade, laptop freeze for 10 second

Hi,
Anyone experiences this, after upgrading for Win 8.1, my laptop freezes 10 seconds every now and then. It doesn't matter if I am running just the browser or working in excel. Anyone have similar problems and any solutions?

Can you please give full notebook model but also BIOS and ME version please?
It sounds like some incompatibility with drivers.
