Why is Facebook constantly crashing my entire system?

For weeks now Facebook (Mafia Wars) has crashed my entire Linux Mint system as it totally freezes.
Rebooting is my only option. The problem can be when simply loading Maria Wars, sometimes when using various features - nothing consistent.
Firefox in Windows XP(sp3) the crashing is less severe but is still bad in Mafia Wars.
No doubt, Mafia Wars is the issue but Chrome in Mint and XP works fine. Any advice guys as this issue is spoiling the use of Firefox.

Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
From the top menu bar, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ # Ports
if not already selected. Click the heading of the Ports column in the process table to sort the entries by port usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process?

FCPX crashes the entire system when applying Ken Burns

When applying Ken Burns to an image, when repositioning the start and/or end frame the entire system locks up, not just FCPX. The cursor can still be moved, but other than that the entire system is unresponsive and the only solution is turning off my iMac and rebooting. That is how the problem started, a few days later during the same process the entire screen turns black and rebooting is once again the only way out.
Is anyone else familiar with this problem?

There's a little icon that appears in the Project on top of each picture that has Ken Burns applied, click on that icon (it's a cropping square icon). that will bring up the Inspector and show you the red/green boxes that indicate the area where the zoom starts and ends for Ken Burns. If you drag the edges of both the red/green boxes individually to fit the entire picture, I think you will get the effect of not cropping. But it won't really be Ken Burns either because it won't zoom/pan across the image as it plays back.

Occasionally (but not always), opening Firefox freezes/crashes my entire system. Why is this? Win7 64bit

Every few uses of Firefox, I click the icon to open the program, and my system freezes. Ctrl+Alt+Delete does nothing, Ctrl+Shift+Esc does nothing. The mouse won't move, keyboard non-functioning. I have to do a hard reset of my system (hold power button until it shuts off, restart). No crash report is generated/shown/submitted, probably because my computer freezes before Firefox can even open.
This does not happen with any other program, only Firefox. Running Windows 7 64-bit.
I have to fill out this form on Internet Explorer, because now after restarting my computer firefox won't open at all, regardless of which icon i click.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Photoshop CC crashes my entire system - Mac. Why?

I had Photoshop CC running fine until I updated the extension manager. From there on out, it locks up my whole computer and I have to reboot. I have reverted to Photoshop CS6 and it works fine. All other CC apps work fine.
I have uninstalled Photoshop CC using the uninstaller file in the app folder, then reinstalled using CC tool. Same results.
Is there another way to reset or re-install photoshop cc that might take care of this issue?

I was able to open Photoshop CC on the root account.
Ultimately, removing the Preferences folder did the trick: <user>/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CC Settings
( couldn't easily see which pref to remove that related to the Exchange menu panel)
I tried removing com.adobe.Photoshop.plist but that didn't solve anything.
What seemed to be the issue, was the Adobe Exchange extension panel. I had previously only disabled it, but after uninstalling it, the panel would keep drawing on screen and that was the last thing Photoshop would do before locking up the entire computer.
Thanks for your help.
Attaching a screenshot of the Exchange menu panel - which looks odd, is it perhaps for CS6? I am not going to try and open that extension again to find out.

Why my Facebook is crashing every time I open it? Thanks

What will I do? Please help

Facebook crashes when I open it on my iPhone and iPad today. If I cared about it or missed it I would contact Facebook to find out why.
I suspect it will start working later today or tomorrow. This has happened before.

Bluetooth crashing the entire system?

Hi,
Twice in the past two days, my Pbook 1.33GHz has frozen entirely. I can't be sure it's a kernel panic, but everything freezes, the displayed time does not move (over 30 minutes passed), the external keyboard and mouse don't work, and the only response I get is the Caps Lock key light works. The screen remains as if nothing had happened (I get no "screen of death") - just suddenly stops responding. The first time, I did a hard shutdown (hold Power for 5 secs); second time, I did a hard restart (CTRL-CMD-Power). After the second time, I logged in as the administrator user, and got a "Your Mac was restarted after OS X unexpectedly quit" message. I submitted a report to Apple - which unfortunately I didn't copy for myself. I glanced at the report, and noted that it involved several Bluetooth components.
The first time the system crashed, I had been having trouble with a bluetooth headset a couple hours before. But everything went fine for a while; I even put the computer to sleep. Walked away, came back, the Pbook re-awoke itself but completely frozen.
The second time it crashed, I was just reading thru a website in Camino. A bluetooth keyboard was connected and paired (an iFrog keyboard). Then suddenly the system stopped responding.
This has never happened before; my system is normally very stable. Could it be 10.4.8? Also, anyone know how to retrieve crash/panic logs so I can post them for you to see? Thanks!

OSB 10.1.0.0 on AIX crashes the entire system during an rman backup to tape

Hi,
I have here two AIX 5.3-07 systems with Oracle 10.2.0.2 and 10.2.0.3 on it. After installing Oracle Secure Backup for AIX I tried an online backup with rman. During the rman backup the entire AIX system crashes and reboots.
I can reproduce this on both AIX machines. If I'm using only obtar to backup some files it works out of the box. On the 10.2.0.2 system I've initial installed a 10.2.0.1 database. With this installation I was able to make online backups without any crashes.
Just before I open a tar I want to ask if someone has any hints?

Why is Flash CS5 crashing on my system?

Hi,
Just finished building a new pc (16GB RAM), installed Flash CS5, and it's randomly crashing. I imported a bitmap and traced it into a vector image, making the file 198.9KB. It is only one frame long, two layers (one is a guide, the other is the vector image). If it's crashing now, I imagine it won't be able to handle much further ahead. Why is this happening?
I tried looking into forums, saw discussions about scratch disks, cache amounts, all of which are supposedly available in the Perfomances option under Preferences, but I can't find any such option.
If someone could please help me out, that would be great. Thank you.

In my experience CS5 was very stable. Chances are if you're only experiencing this after a full system upgrade (of which you almost certainly installed a fresh OS) then I'd bet on it being software corruption (OS or Flash, probably the latter), or some hardware you seated isn't playing nice.
If it's software corruption on the OS, other apps will be crashing as well. If it's specifically Flash then that install may simply be corrupted and a quick reinstall would solve that.
If it's hardware, that's a bit harder. It's very tempting to grab gobs of cheap (G.SKILL, PNY, etc) unmatched RAM these days. Even tried and true brands that are cheap are overlooked (Corsair XMS). In my experience (hundreds of systems built), RAM or an overheating CPU are almost always the culprit. A very distant 3rd and 4th place are motherboards and power supplies.
If I were to throw a dart at a possible hardware problem, I'd choose RAM that isn't playing nice together or CPU thermal grease that isn't performing well (CPU overheating causing crashes). Luckily both are easy to test, grab a copy of good ole' Prime95 and torture test your system. If any part of your RAM, CPU, FSB or PSU are acting up then it will fail tests. Then you know what the problem is:
http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft/
Don't sign up for the team or allow it to run while your system is idle. Simply uncheck all of that and ignore the team request. When you run it, if the torture test doesn't spawn a dialog to start, run Options->Torture Test:
Leave it at the default Blend test and verify it counted your cores correctly (I'm sure it did). For me, this old dev rig is an old i5-2500k which does not have hyperthreading so it only has 4 cores. If you have hyperthreading then you'll see double your cores (4 for dual core, 8 for quad, etc):
Click OK and leave the system alone for a while (hour or so). If your RAM has any issue you almost always see it error out within 10 minutes. Open your task manager to see it utilizing all available CPU and gobs of RAM while it tests.

Photoshop CS4 has started crashing my entire system

Hey there, hopefully I can find a solution here that doesn't involve a full system dump and reinstall.
Photoshop started crashing on my today but not just the App - it takes down my whole system forcing me to do a "hold the power button for 5 seconds" shutdown and restart. The first crashes were when trying to convert a medium complexity selection into a work path. Then. after giving up on that even just opening an image, converting it into a layer so I could use the transform tool. As soon as I hit "cmd-T" the app locks and the system crashes forcing me to reset via the power button.
Nothing has changed, I haven't installed anything, downloaded anything, nothing at all. I'm on an iMac running the full master collection, Intel, maxed out RAM......CS4 has been running flawlessly since installation up until this. (Installed a few months ago). I reinstalled Photoshop from the disks but same thing happened.
Help?

I've got a 4870 in my MacPro (here at home, the one I'm typing on now) - and zero crashing with OpenGL on.
It is good to know that it's working well on your system, Chris. Any suggestions for those of us who are having a problem? Since we know it's neither universal nor isolated, what's the next step in diagnosing? I have no idea how to start nailing down what's at the root of the problem, but would really like to solve it -- or at the very least, help Adobe and/or Apple figure out what might be going on.
And if your symptoms are not EXACTLY the same as the original poster in a topic
: please start a new topic instead of adding confusion to the current topic.
Okay, sure, I didn't know that's how this forum works. Some forums prefer that you not make a new topic for every single issue or question if it's possibly related to another one already being discussed. I'll gladly restart this as a new one if you think that's best at this point, or maybe an admin can split it off since it's grown already. Sorry about that.
(Just as a delicate side note: I'm sure it can be extremely frustrating reading tons of complaints by anonymous folks, many of which are off base and impolitely worded. I don't envy the position at all, especially if I were one of the creators of a product as amazingly powerful, intelligent, and elegant as Photoshop. But for anyone representing Adobe in any way, it may be a good idea not to simply accuse a polite poster of "adding confusion," without at least politely apologizing for misreading/mischaracterizing the poster's post. My post itself was indeed perfectly clear about what was crashing. A simple, "Sorry I misread your post; for clarity, we prefer that you start a new topic so different issues don't get confused," etc. would be great. Sure, a really minor thing, but it may help keep people happy with the company instead of thinking they're a little rude or dismissive. I sincerely appreciate your posting here.)
Anyway, as I finished typing this I saw your last reply to Brizdale (via email alert). So, is there any way for us to diagnose whether it's a driver or hardware issue? Or do we just have to wait for -- apparently -- Apple? Or AMD?
Thanks again.

Lightroom 4 is crashing and corrupting files. it also crashes my entire system sometimes. I'm on windows 7 64x, Intel 5 4670, 16gb ram.

I've tried reinstalling it. Didn't help. It crashed when I was exporting 111 photos, then I only did 20 at a time and it didn't crash, but it crashed 4 times while I was editing the session. What should I do?

I tested it, its fine...my whole system is fine. Lightroom is the only
program that acts like this. Otherwise my system is good to go.What else?

New itunes crashed my entire system and corrupted itunes folder

Right now I am MAD AS ****.
I started iTunes and was told there was a new version available. Like a sucker I installed it. My iTunes folder and library with hundreds of hours of music is corrupted and the library shows up as blank. I tried uninstalling iTunes, but the new version leaves traces and when I install version 4.9 it won`t install because it finds elements of the new version. Even clicking on the iTunes library folder which is on a seoparate drive crashes my system. Now what Apple genius is responsible for this distaster!!!! And who at Apple is going to help me with this problem. Better question: Who at Apple even cares!
Can you tell I`m upset. Does anyone check the updates before sending them out to the field. %$?&*$!

OK, calm down, take a deep breathe. Ok, now that thats out of the way, please tell me exactly what happen with details so we can try to help you out.
Unfortunately, a majority of these download issues are actually Windows issues, not Apples. With that aside, as much info you can will be helpful along with what Windows OS you are running.
