IE shutting down when streaming video

Hi everyone. This is my first time posting so please be kind. I only have a basic knowledge of computers so please don't lose patience with me for not being a techie or understanding the language. I recently purchased a Satellite C855d-S5320 and I'm having a problem streaming video. I like to watch Shameless and in order to do so I had to download Widevine. After about 30 to 40 mins the video becomes lagged and then a window pops up stating that the program isn't responding and has to shut down. After restarting, it happens again but only after 5 to 10 min. By this time I'm so frustrated that I give up and hope it works the next day. Which of course it doesn't. I don't understand what is going on as this is a new laptop and I haven't junked it up with anything. It runs Windows 8 and IE 10. Can someone please help me so I can catch up on this season of Shameless? Thank you for any help you can offer.

I'm sorry I should have mentioned that I tried that already. I even uninstalled Widevine and reinstalled it thinking that perhaps that was the problem, but IE keeps shutting down. I've been to MS and I must admit they weren't much help. I guess I was just hoping that someone else had this problem and could offer a solution.  Thank you for your reply, I greatly appreciate it.

  • MacBook shuts down when streaming video

    I use safari, so my assumption is the problem lies there. I did a software update in January along with upgrading to snow leopard but this problem has been happening since before then.
    Its only a few years old and the only thig that's wrong with it is the battery is dead and needs replaced but I have my charger plugged in 24/7. would that have anything to do with streaming video?
    Has this ever happened to anyone?

    I've found that the computer only shuts down when streaming netflix. 
    I can play videos on youtube or vimeo long periods of time without the computer crashing.
    When streaming netflix, the computer turns off within 5 minutes or less usually.
    I have the newest version of silverlight installed and older versions deleted from my hd.
    Does this information point to another or more specific problem?
    Have others experienced a similar issue with regard to netflix or silverlight?

  • Why does Macbook Pro have gray "curtain"and msg to shut down when playing video online?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard v 10.6.8 and have put on all the security updates.
    I bought this machine just days after the newest MBP's were released with Lion because I wanted to stay with Snow Leopard
    From the very beginning I would have occasional "gray screens" with a message that I'd encounterd a problem and needed to shut down.  It always occured while I was watching a streaming video online (Flash?) but it didn't always happen.  I updated my Flash plugin and that seemed to help.  I use both Safari and FireFox and both are now updated to the latest versions.
    I had also noticed via iCleanMemory that my memory availability was very low .....I always have many tabs open in my browsers and have backup software that backs up to online storage running and when I watched a video, it dropped to almost 0 and everything ran slow.  I had 4 GB Ram.
    So, I ordered new ram and put that in and now have 8 GB.  Machine runs fast. Love it....except it keeps giving me that veil of gray and the message to shut down.  It happens several times a day now and while usually in conjunction with watching a video clip, it's not always the case.  But I have lots of available memory.  That wasn't the issue.
    I found an Apple Support paper relative to needing a video update on some mid 2010 MBP's and downloaded it.  It won't install and says it won't run on my system so that didn't help.
    I'm at my wits' end trying to keep this thing running.  Everytime I have to shut it down it means a minimum of 8 min...sometimes more.....before it will restart.  If I try to restart sooner than that, it begins to boot and then just has lines and lines of numbers and code running across it....and often continuous beeping sounds and I have to hold the button down to shut it off again.  If I wait long enough, it does boot back up and sometimes runs fine as long as I'm not watching video clips, a streaming tv show or clicking on a lot of links in web pages.
    I don't believe it has shut down when I was doing anything that wasn't web related....i.e. on a browser. And, when I was running with only 4 gb ram, it rarely shut down, just ran very, very slowly.  Now with 8 gb ram it is speedy but doesn't seem to want to keep working!
    Anyone have any ideas what I should try next?
    Thanks
    Paula

    Hi Allan,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I have been closing iCleanMemory but the shut down (kernel panic) was still happening.  Not sure how to go about uninstalling it as it's one that runs at start-up and dragging it to the trash might not get rid of it completely.  I"ll find it's web site and see if they have any info.
    Haven't checked your web link yet (it's late and gotta get to bed) but will do so tomorrow.
    I also run Backblaze and DropBox that begin at startup and are constantly updating in the background, iStatMenus and Sharpshooter. 
    The kernel panics were happening....tho much less frequently.....before i put iClean Memory on.  If I remember right, I installed it just because I had those periodic shut downs and wondered if it was a lack of memory.  Because I then saw that memory was very low all the time, I decided I must need to put more memory in.  And that seems to have made the issue worse while also making the machine work faster for the time it is running.
    Now, I've been working on here for a couple of hours and had no problem at all......but I haven't asked it to play any kind of video.  Before I quit for the night, I'll try to watch the last one I tried that caused it to shut down and see if it does it again.
    I do appreciate your help as I have just enough knowledge about these things to be dangerous.

  • Safari shuts down on Streaming Video (AVI or WMV)

    Any time I go to a site that have streaming video (other than YouTube), Safari and Foxfire will lock up and shut down. It seems to happen when the video being streamed is an AVI or WMV file. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions of Mac OS. It would just go to the page and sit there and I could go back a page, now it locks up and shuts down. Anyone else having this problem?

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    YouTube streams video using the Flash plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the Flash Player plugin.
    Uninstall Flash
    Install Flash
    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
    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.*

  • ITunes Shuts Down when Loading Videos

    I have a 120 gig iPod Classic, and just recently I started having problems with it. Now whenever I try to load a movie from iTunes to my iPod, iTunes shuts down right when the video is almost done loading onto my iPod. I have no problems with music, or even when I load videos from another computer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Are you trying to sync them from the photos tab?
    If so, try importing the videos into itunes and then syncing them from the movies tab.
    You'll also want to uncheck 'Sync Videos' in the photos tab.

  • IChat shuts down when attempting video chat or preferences...

    When I invite someone to video chat, or someone invites me, the green iSight light comes on and then chat shuts down completely. This also happens when I try to go to my chat preferences. I get this message:
    Application Specific Information:
    * Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Failed creating colorspace for index (9)'
    Has anyone else had this problem? I have tried restarting and software updating, but I can't do too much more without even being able to get in my preferences.......

    Seems like it will be this then

  • MBP shuts down when watching videos or playing games..

    The infamous first post - I know.
    So I've been having this problem with my Macbook Pro that I received from my college for my Advertising program. When I am watching videos or even playing simple online games, after awhile the screen darkens from top to bottom and then the multi-language message comes up and tells me to restart my computer.
    I decided to post this here to find out if this is a common problem, or if I should seek some kind of support help. I'm a little weary of IT here at my college because one of my professors informed my class that they are a bit reimage-crazy.
    Anyways, I would really appreciate anyone's input..
    Thanks guys.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    This is called a kernel panic.
    Lots of posts on these boards if you search using that term.
    Here's a tutorial about troubleshooting kernel panic issues:

  • MAC AIR SHUTS DOWN WHILE STREAMING

    My MacBook Air shuts down while streaming video.  I am using safari and it works for a while but then shuts down and will not restart for quite some time.  When it restarts I have to immediately close the video window or it will shut down again.  I have the latest version of flashplayer.

    This sounds like an overheating issue.  Flash requires a surprisingly high level of resources.  Do you hear your fans running at all while you are playing the videos?
    Download the free iStat Pro widget directly from Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    It will show you both your fan speeds and temperature.  Start playing a video and let it play for a short while (sometime before it typically shuts off... but long enough to let things warm up).  Then check the temp and fan speed.  Do this while the video is still playing as things can cool off pretty fast after you stop playing the video.  Post the numbers back here.

  • ITunes shuts down when trying to play video

    My iTunes software shuts down when I try to play a video from my iTunes Library or from the iTunes Store site. I have backed up the library and have tried to reinstall iTunes, but when I did the entire library reappeared and the same problem exists. My Quicktime does work and iDVD, too, with home movies, other online streaming and DVDs, So I'm sure that the problem is with iTunes.

  • Why is iChat shutting down when trying to video-conference with Windows?

    My friend and I are trying to video-conference.
    I use an iBook G4, with an iSight.
    My friend uses a HP Pavilion ZV5000.
    For some reason, my iChat shuts down when it's connecting.
    It'll connect for one second and then, my iChat will close.
    I don't see what's wrong :(!

    Hi Bill,
    Yes I saw that kellyRAWR mentioned that they were using AIM.
    And Tony explained about the AIM 5.9 issue.
    I was merely offering another option that she may not know about, since the AIM->iChat is flaky at best.

  • IMac shuts down when using Safari 2.0.4

    My iMac shuts down when I visit certain websites such as Pogo or video sites. Took it to the Apple store and of course the problem wouldn't replicate there. They kept it to check out the scripts and logs to see if they could find a problem - without success; although they did suggest my house is haunted. Brought it home and it quit again.
    We thought perhaps we were getting interference from other wireless devices and unplugged our cordless phone which worked for a day. The computer always turns back on so its more of an annoyance than a real problem, but I'm baffled.
    It also happened once when I was downloading from the iTunes store, but is most prevalent with Safari.
    We have wireless internet connected via ethernet to an Airport Express.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Hi Barry -
    Yes I do live near a ghost town (kinda) - Virginia City, NV. And I did tell any unwanted visitors to leave.
    Actually, in the last year, they have replaced the Super drive, power supply, inverter and logic board. The only reason I'm not thinking power issues is that it only happens when I'm in Safari or iTunes. I would use Firefox except I've got java issues with that. I can (and do) use the machine for other things all day long without problems. I can use Safari all day long as long as I'm not playing on Pogo or certain video sites. Maybe Pogo is haunted?
    It also doesn't happen on my husband's iMac on the other side of the house. Is there something that could cause enough interference to actually make the machine shut down? Oh, the antennae for the satellite TV and internet are on the roof directly above me, if that would have anything to do with it.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Photoshop CS6 shuts downs when using the move tool

    Photoshop CS6 shuts downs when using the move tool. It seemas to run fine until i try and use the move tool. PS worked fine just a few weeks ago and now it has this issue. What can i do to resole this issue?
    Thnaks,
    System Specs

    7. If you are using more than one video adapter, remove the additional cards.
    Multiple video adapters can cause problems when OpenGL and Photoshop use the GPU. It's best to connect two (or more) monitors into one video adapter. If you have to use more than one video adapter, make sure that they are the same make and model. Also make sure that they both support the same versions of OpenGL and Shader Model. Otherwise, crashes and other problems can occur in Photoshop.
    Note: Using two video adapters does not enhance Photoshop's performance.

    Export your project as a movie file
    Choose Share > Export Movie (or press Command-E).
    Choose an export format from the Export pop-up menu.
    This menu provides a list of codecs.
    Choose an option from the “Open with” pop-up menu: 
    Do Nothing: The movie is not opened after the export is completed. 
    Open with QuickTime Player: The movie is opened in QuickTime Player. 
    Open with Compressor: The movie is opened in Compressor (if installed on your system). 
    Choose an option from the Include pop-up menu: Video and Audio, or Video Only.

    Enter a name and choose a location for the exported file, then click Save.
    Motion renders and saves your movie.
    Important:    The Export Movie command does not use background rendering, so you must wait until rendering is finished before you can continue to work in Motion.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.
