[solved] Sudden reboot while watching youtube video

*[edit]*
Nevermind. I've just noticed that the over clock is blinking. Apparently the power went out for a second.
Well, that was fun.
*[/edit]*
I was watching a video on youtube just now (on x86_64, with the flashplugin package from [multilib]) when the system suddenly rebooted. During the reboot it recovered and recommitted the journal and everything seems to be fine, but now I'm worried.
I can't find anything in the logs to indicate what could have happened but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. What should I check?
I don't even know if this has anything to do with flash. I had lmms open too, and maybe cmus.
For your amusement, here are the thoughts that when through my head right after the screen suddenly went black:
wtf, did I forget to plug in the charger again?
wait, i'm not on the laptop
oh fsck*
* The last time a system suddenly died on me, the psu had burnt out... which itself was funny, because I noticed the smell of burnt plastic and rubber before it happened. I assumed it was coming from outside, closed the window, and went to get a drink. When I came back, the system was dead and I had a little epiphany regarding the source of the previous smell.

- a short-circuit of some kind?
Heh, I just realize the same thing and edited the OP before I saw your post.
I didn't even think of that possibility before I saw the clock though, because the computer instantly rebooted. I've never noticed the power go out for less than a second.
Thanks for the reply.

  • Ipad Air keeps changing contrast/color saturation while watching youtube videos

    The whole screen fluctuates contrast continuously while watching youtube videos on full screen.The odd thing is it only happens if they are on full screen,and as soon as i switch the video to window mode,the very high contrast fades aways slowly.Please help i dont know what to do.Auto-Brightness is off.Also when if i pri tscreen,th high contrast does not show,the photo looks normally.

    I have this problem too. It's really annoying, especially when I'm viewing movies from iTunes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

  • How can I get to fullscreen mode while watching YouTube videos?

    Extremely inconveniently to watch videos on sites. Please explain, what's the problem?

    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing.
    Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies, do the following:
    # Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
    # Tap Settings.
    # After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section Privacy & Security and select Clear private data.
    # You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    * Cookies & active logins
    * Cache
    After those have been selected, tap the Clear data button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

  • Firefox is slow and hangs watching Youtube videos. Safari is OK. What's the word, Developers?

    Since late Oct 2011, my Firefox had been hanging while watching videos on Youtube. Any mouse action while a video is playing causes Firefox to hang (spinning wheel).
    It turns out that I had caught the beta release of the new Gray Youtube interface - where the backgrounds of all youtube pages are gray.
    I got myself back to the old interface by deleting all Youtube cookies.
    I no longer have hangs. Page transitions are also much quicker, as was before.
    Is there anyone else who has experienced the "new" interface, and problems?
    If you do have the new youtube interface, but no problems, then I have more digging to do.
    Update Dec 2, 2011:
    I have the problem again now that Youtube has released their "new look" interface to everyone.
    The problem is generally slow Firefox responses to mouse actions while watching Youtube videos. Firefox will hang completely 2-4 minutes into any Youtube video. (The video does continue to play a-ok.) FF becomes responsive again when the video ends playing.
    Problem doesn't occur when I watch a youtube video right after starting FF after having "quit" it. Problem begins occur after FF has been running for a while (visiting other websites?) Is this a symptom of FF collecting some kind of crud in memory or disk?
    My old Safari (3.2.1) doesn't have any problems.
    As far as I can see, both Firefox and Safari on my system use the same Adobe Flash Player.
    So, this isn't a problem with Youtube, Flash Player, or my system, but a problem with Firefox (3.6.24) !?
    Anybody (FF developers) have any ideas? I want to keep using FF!

    Thanks Cor-el.
    The problem existed in safe mode as well.
    Changing Flash Player hardware acceleration had no effect.
    The problem is gone now, after getting the standard youtube interface back.
    What I'd like to know is whether any others who are unwitting testers of the new Youtube interface are experiencing problems, and, if not, what is their system? Which versions of Firefox and Flash Player are they using?

  • When I watch YouTube videos on my iPhone 5 it sometimes suddenly drops in quality so much the whole video goes blurry and it's almost impossible to watch anything?? Help

    When I watch YouTube videos on my iPhone 5 it sometimes suddenly drops in quality so much the whole video goes blurry and it's almost impossible to watch anything?? Help also I think it might have to do with my wifi but I'm not sure. Sometimes I also try to skip to sections of a vid and it just lags for ages and nothing happens.

    Good for you! I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it works.

  • All of a sudden I cannot watch any videos using Firefox, not even from YouTube. Why?

    All of a sudden I cannot watch any videos using Firefox. All I get is a square black box. I can see them if I use Safari. Why isn't my Firefox working? What can I do? Thanks.

    Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
    Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
    or Firefox->Preferences->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
    Try clearing the Youtube cookie in Firefox->Preferences->Privacy
    refresh page.
    If that still does not work then try making the youtube url as http'''s'''://
    It is apparently a issue with Youtube as people with other browsers are getting the same. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?hl=en&tid=3cda4dac122b8f13

  • IPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!

    My iPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!
    I was getting this even on iOS 4.0, but under this OS, I can restart the phone, and in some cases, this problem goes away.
    However, under iOS 5, it simply wouldn't go to LANDSCAPE. Photos is not a worry, since I can just rotate this, but videos is now stuck on Portrait!
    Again, the PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING is NOT LOCKED! But it still wouldn't go to Landscape.
    Is this some sort of a "gyroscope" problem??
    O

    Sorry, but you are mistaken about both observations.
    You CAN DEFINITELY take photos in Landscape and you CAN DEFINITELY watch YouTube videos in PORTRAIT (just tried it now using my sister's working iPhone).
    Also, my CALCULATOR does not go to LANDSCAPE (i.e. from normal to Scientific) automatically.
    So I still think it could be a gyroscope problem...but I'm not 100% sure.

  • I have Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in won't allow me to watch YouTube videos

    Up until last week I had IE9 and was able to download and watch YouTube videos with my son and play Facebook games.  Then one evening I tried to pull up a Yo Gabba Gabba video on YouTube and the video window was blank.  I had watched this video the night before with him, and the only thing I can think of is there was a Flash Player update that tried to download.  I saw several posts that suggested downloading a new broswer, but I waited for 3 nights thinking it was just a glitch.  I finally gave up and sent a pm to one of my friends who is a Internet Service Technician.  She told me to download Mozilla Firefox, which I did, and the problem seemed to be solved.  I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos, as well as play games on Facebook.  And it seemed my pages, pictures, etc. all downloaded 10x faster.  That worked until the next evening and suddenly I once again could not download and watch YouTube videos.
    I checked my system and it found that Adobe had done an automatic update so that instead of just having Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I now had Adobe Flash Player 13 plug-in.  I also noticed that Adobe Air was downloaded on my computer.  I went in and uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in and I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But when I tried to play games on Facebook I was told I would need to install at least Adobe Flash Player 10.0.2.  I went to find that or an older version but each time I tried to download from Adobe I would get the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in version, and once again I was unable to download and watch YouTube videos.  I was, however, able to play the games on Facebook again.
    Remember when I just had Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I was able to do both while having Mozilla Firefox.  I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find recent articles that talk about this problem.  Can someone please tell me what I can do so that I can keep Mozilla Firefox, as it is 10X faster than IE9 and with Firefox my Facebook doesn't crash all of the time?  But I also want to have the ability to download and watch YouTube videos with my son, as well as the play games on Facebook.
    I should also note each time I went to uninstall Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in I received an error message saying there was a conflict with Mozilla Firefox and I first had to shut it down before the uninstall would proceed.  Also, I received a reply on Adobe's Facebook page from a Tech who had me check to see if I had the latest version of Flash Player.  I did have the most recent version.  He then asked me to go to my add-ons and enable Shockwave.  I followed the instructions and it was already enabled (or it said always activate).  Neither of those helped me be able to download and watch YouTube videos.  But I can still play Facebook games.

  • Blackberry 9320 phone will not let me watch youtube videos

    Hi, I've been trying to watch youtube videos on my phone on the blackberry interent and it keeps saying "an error has occurred ettempting to play media". Please help its very annoying that I can't watch youtube videos on my phone

    Hello
    To see video on youtube from your blackberry remember that the best option is to watch video through a wireless network.
    Is recommended to watch video while connected to a wi-fi network for quality and video playback.
    Regards.

  • Can no longer watch Youtube videos anymore Firefox 3.0.3 mac os x 10.4.11

    Can no longer watch YouTube videos all of a sudden. Firefox 3.0.3 mac os x 10.4.11. Please help. Thank you.

    Yes, thank you very much. The problem was related to the Flash plugin. It had been disabled by Firefox 'for my safety' apparently. No supported versions available any longer by Adobe for ppc macs - had to download an older version from an archive site - fixed the problem. No more crashes on Firefox or Safari while on Youtube.

  • Crackling and popping sound when playing music and watching youtube videos

    there is a crackling and popping sound when i watch videos on youtube or play music/videos  using vlc media player  and windows media player. recently it has gotten to a point where it happens when windows is starting up or even when the laptop is required to play a sound for example when i plug in a removeable hardware such as thumbdrives

    Hi @donnabail ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP 2000 Notebook and getting a buzzing or popping sound while playing music and watching Youtube videos. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook that might have caused this.
    You can try this
    1. Right click the Speaker icon in the bottom right corner.
    2. Click Playback Devices.
    3. Click Speakers.
    4. Click properties.
    5. Click the advanced tab on the Properties window.
    6. Change the Default Format drop-down to the highest quality.
    7. Apply the properties.
    8. Click OK to close the properties window.
    What happens if you right click on the video while playing a video and take the check out of hardware acceleration. Shut the browser down and restart the notebook.
    Have you checked for an update on the Active X.
    Please let me know how this goes.
    Thanks.

  • Fan starts to make loud noise when watching youtube videos

    Hello there, I have been having a problem with my Macbook Pro for a while and I hope I can find some help here. My Macbook Pro has the problem that when I am watching youtube videos and I have the fullscreen option on, if the video is lasts, say more then 4 min or so, then after a while the fans start to kick in and they keep getting louder and louder for no reason.
    It also does this sometimes when I open the spotlight to search for something, although that hasnt happened as much lately. But this is really getting annoying, I mean, why would a simple video from youtube, make the mac go all crazy as if I was rendering or exporting video, its nuts. I have all the updates installed too.
    I also went to an Apple store, and of course when I try to show the person the issue I have, the macbook pro works just fine! Its somewhat random. I told the guy that I have Applecare and if they could just hold onto the machine and test it out themselfs and the guy tells me, that I have to pay THEM for this service if they dont find anything. What the? Is it my fault if the issue doesnt come up during their suposed testing time? What if they just dont do anything to it, and then say they dont find anything, and im suposed to pay for this even though I have Applecare? There must be something wrong.
    Anyway, I really appreciate any help and guidance I can get on this issue. Btw, my Macbook Pro is the second generation one, the one with Intel Duo Core 2, 2.33 ghz, 2 GB ram and the ATI video card. I also recently ran Disc Utility from the install disc and I repaired some issues on the HD, but its still the same.
    Thank you for reading and (hopefully) responding to this topic.

    Thank you for the replies. I have just downloaded the iStat Widget and I noticed that the fans were at about 2800-2900 rpm and the sound wasnt noticable, I then played a youtube video that lasts for 5 min, although already on the 1 min mark the fans were getting louder when running in full-screen mode. I then checked iStat and it peaked at around 5994 rpm. I then stopped the full screen viewing and it went back to 3000 rpm after a while, and now it seems to be locked at 2400 rpm.
    What I dont get is, why is it that when I play videos from my hard drive and watch movies, even in full screen mode, it doesnt get near 5990 rpm at any point, at least I dont notice any loud fan sounds. Although that has happened when I watched a HD video from my desktop that lasted about 6 min, but the fans didnt go as loud as right now.
    Also, a few days ago, I was playing a small flash game on the net, and I got the same problem with the fans as with the youtube videos. I read that youtube uses flash, is this right? Could there be something on this? I have downloaded the latest flash player version though, so I dont know whats going on.

    My name is Ameer.
    I watch youtube videos from ipad2 ( safari )
    today for my first time, when i run a video and i want to pause it, i touch the screen where the video is playing to reach the pause botton that is located on a bar under the video which appears when i touch the screen. Today every time i touch the screen nothing happens and i cannt pause the video nor adjusting its quality.
    So plese help me fixing this problem as soon as posible.
    Regards

    Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
    A bit more info:
    -tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
    Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
    -tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
    -tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
    -tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
    There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

  • My blackberry 9320 won't let me watch youtube videos?

    Does anyone know a way of making my phone watch youtube videos on the youtube app it keeps saying its blocked or something like that?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you still 100% sure about that? "Contact"? Or "Content"? Here's a KB that discusses if it's "Content":
    KB19091 Error "Content not available. Server is blocked or unresponsive" occurs when attempting to access videos on m.youtube.com from the BlackBerry smartphone
    You may have to contact your mobile service provider for formal support of the proper settings.
    Good luck!
