Youtube videos cause entire system crash

System Basics:
AMD Phenom x6 3.2GHz
4GB DDR3 Ram
120GB SDD Operating Drive (storage drives irrelevant)
ATI Radeon HD 5700 1GB (hardware acceleration not active)
Creative X-Fi 7.1
(all drivers up to date)
OS:
Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
(all windows updates up to date)
Browsers:
Avant Browser (Using Flash 10.1.85.3) (32 bit browser)
Google Chrome (downloaded today with latest Flash Player incorporated) (32 bit browser)
Issue:
I've been using Avant with the latest Flash player with no problems since install.  However, today it has started to completely crash my entire system when I start playing a youtube video.  BSOD and then system reboot.
Thinking it may be an issue with Avant (which is not the most popular and, therefore, not the most supported browser) I decided to download Google Chrome and see how things worked.
As soon as I played a youtube video in Chrome, BSOD and a system reboot.
My system is extremely stable otherwise and has had no other crashes since it was built in July.
I've noticed another person having the same issue with a Radeon graphics card, but most of the advice is concerning IE or Firefox, neither of which I'm using.
The strange thing is that this issue only started today, but my Flash Player and Graphic Drivers were both updated a week ago.  I've been playing youtube videos without issue since then until this morning.

Hi, I know there have been problems with the ATI/Flash Player as I've been on several of the threads and then read others.
Just from memory it depended on the driver version, not one particular one. Now if you didn't have that BSOD, I would say some add on or Toolbar or Anti-Virus was conflicting. Now in the FlashPlayerTrust, what files are in there?
RealPlayer?
Also the FlashAuthor.cfg, do you use that and what for?
Do you use Skype, Quicktime? These can conflict and especially RealPlayer.
I am on my laptop now, but tomorrow I'll check some of the threads that had/have the ATI issues and see what I can find. In fact I saw one posted tonight, but didn't have time to check it. I keep a lot of folders on my work PC so maybe there will be some helpful info there. With that kind of a crash I tend to think it's ATI/Flash Player related. I don't think it is Flash Player conflicting with the driver, although affected.
That's all for me this evening,
Thanks,
eidnolb

  • Flash player causes entire system crash with black screen

    When watching a video on youtube, streaming on twitch or other things my entire system will crash with the following symptoms:
    -Black Screen
    -Intermittent stuttering sound
    -Only fixable by a hard reboot (holding the power button). The reset button will NOT work. Video will NOT return, it will continue to loop this way until a hard reset.
    Your Flash Version
    11.9.900
    Your browser name
    Firefox
    Your Operating System (OS)
    Windows (Windows 7)
    That information taken directly from Adobe's site. Using 64-bit, 8GB of RAM installed. ATI Radeon HD 6850 card. I have done a fresh Win 7 install a couple months ago and JUST NOW put flash back on here...now it's crashing. While times vary before the crash, I just watched a youtube video for less than 5 seconds before it happened.
    Upon reboot, I get the "Windows was not shut down properly" message. No "Your system has recovered..." message, however. I've seen very few posts about this and none of the solutions help but this is REALLY pissing me off now. It happened to me before and the only fix was a fresh system install. I'm not doing that again.

    Hi Mike,
    I appreciate the reply. I can run the system for days, literally, doing other tasks such as music through iTunes, gaming through Steam, voice chatting on Ventrilo. The only time I will ever experience this issue will be the five minutes I watch a youtube video or watch a stream on Twitch..
    My primary HD is a relatively new Intel SSD. I do have multiple other drives but they're used for storage of media (include aforementioned music).
    I have been a youtuber and streamer for a while, and i'd like to try and record the phenominon, but i'll have to do so using an external camera since i'm not sure I can stop and save the recorded data. I'll have to do so I guess so I can give a better idea of the issue occuring.
    Thanks again.

  • Stuttering video/audio and system crashes?

    For the better part of this year, I've had a terrible time with video and audio stuttering on my MacBook (Sept. 2007; 2.16GHz, 4MB RAM). This was especially noticeable when watching streaming Netflix videos, and it didn't seem to matter if I was using Safari or Firefox. Clearing the browser cache has little to no impact.
    The problem appears to have worsened since I upgraded to Snow Leopard about two months ago. (I'd previously been using OS 10.4.11; I now have 10.6.7). This same problem now impacting YouTube and QuickTime, even when I'm viewing files on my hard drive (approx. 27 GB free on a 120 GB drive), so I doubt that my internet connection is to blame. This happens whether I'm on WiFi or on an Ethernet connection -- also, my Ethernet randomly decides to stop working, but that's (probably) a separate issue.
    (Also since my OS upgrade, I'm suddenly having battery issues as well.)
    The problem is sometimes so bad that the entire system crashes, and I'm forced to do a cold/hard reboot of my MacBook. This has happened twice within the past 24 hours. Mostly, I can watch a few seconds or sometimes several minutes of video before the video and audio start sticking and stuttering again -- so pretty much any video capability is nearly worthless to me at this point.
    Here's the Panic Report from my latest system crash this morning... I don't know how to read Panic Reports, so I'm hoping someone might spot something that I can fix to address this issue?

    Definitely not. I've got a 2007 MacBook, and even with the extended warranty that coverage expired a year ago.
    If you're concnered about cost, you could always call and ask. In my experience, the people at the Genius Bar (and Apple Store in general) are happy to provide assistance free of charge. If you have to replace a part, system, etc. you'll certainly need to cover that, but they should talk to you about costs and get your consent before doing any work on your machine.

  • Entire System Crashing while transferring songs to iPod

    I run a 17" 1.5 GHz powerbook with 10.4.3. I recently bought a 60 gb 5th gen iPod. About 3 weeks ago I was adding a CD to my iPod. The entire system crashed, I wasn't sure of the problem. So, once i forcefully rebooted(all black screen, ..hold down the power button in 15 different languages..), I opened up itunes, checked to see if the songs actuallu transferred, they had not, so i went to transfer them again, after 5 songs...BOOM..another crash box.
    Today, I was transferring a cd of 320kbps audio flies(Mozart) to it and it happened again. Can the iPod not handle multiple song transfers of high bit rate songs? Not sure why this is happening, has anyone else experienced this?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I am in the same boat as you guys.
    I have a 60 gig Black 5G iPod. Loaded primarily with video.
    It is syncing to a 10.4.3 iMac G5.
    I have been using the iPod trouble free for 2 weeks now. Syncing everyday, removing and adding video. No problems.
    Last night I attempted to add a number of videos that would have filled up the device. Once I was syncing the last, or second to last, video and the counter in iTunes showed there was about a gig of space left available on the iPod I would get a Kernel Panic (grey screen, power button, 5 languages, telling me to restart).
    This happened twice before I removed a handful of videos to keep the iPod from filling up. This seemed to relieve the problem and the iPod synced like normal.
    Otherwise the iPod has been performing as expected, video playback is great, syncing otherwise is fine.
    My panic.log is very similar to yours rdstuart

    So, a follow up question, anyone reading this thread completely (and I mean completely, save for a few megs) maxed out their 5th gen iPod? 30 or 60 gig qualifies as it seems to occur on both models.
    Basically I am trying to determine the root of the problem. Is this a serious hardware problem which would warrant an exchange?
    Or possible a problem/flaw in the database structure of the iPod that could be rectified via a firmware update?
    Has anyone talked with Apple Tech Support about this issue?
    My iPod is absolutely great otherwise, none of the many complaints others in the forum have had, and so if this is just a case of leaving a gig or so free on the iPod until a fix materializes so be it! I would rather avoid an unnecessary exchange if possible.
    I just want to avoid major hardware issues downs the line naturally.
    Thanks for your help and advice in advance.

  • Entire System Crashes With iTunes

    I've acer with Windows 7 and entire system crashes while i use ITunes. Had latest update, but to be sure went back to download 64 bit. Still crashed so uninstalled in case other version partially installed and then re-installed 64 bit. Still crashes.

    Sorry 'bout the delay, Eva.
    Since the last time we spoke, iTunes 10.1.0.56 was released. The primary bug fix was for the CoreAudioToolbox.dll related "iTunes has stopped working" messages, but I figure it's probably worth a check with your bsod too.
    I don't know if it shows up for people in their Apple Software Update (It didn't for me yesterday when I checked). So get it from the installer available from:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Any impact on the problem?

  • Why does watching just youtube videos causes my fanspeed to be very audible! im using a retina MBP 2012 june

    why does watching just youtube videos causes my fanspeed to be very audible! im using a retina MBP 2012 june

    Video use a lot of CPU/GPU resources and thus creates heat.  The fans speed up in order to dissipate the heat.  If you open Activity Monitor, it will show you the % of CPU that the video utilizes.  At high speeds, the fans are very much audible.
    ciao.

  • Embedding a YouTube Video utilizing HTML Insert Crashes Muse Repeatedly

    Just today I have noticed when embedding a YouTube Video in Muse that it has begun crashing repeatedly. I cannot get the video to stay embedded to finish this project. Is there a bug or a work-around?
    Thank you.

    Please try using YouTube embed code with the "Enable privacy-enhanced mode" option checked. It appears this crash is being triggered by recent changes in how YouTube's embed code works. At least early evidence indicates turning the "Enable privacy-enhanced mode" option on when creating the embed code appears to change the behavior of the embed code enough to avoid triggering this crash within Muse.
    If you do try this, please report back to let us know whether or not setting this option enables you to avoid this crash. Thanks.

  • Entire system crashes when fire fox is run for a short period of time

    So I've been building a new PC over the last 3 months and today it's finally complete. When I run Firefox for a short period of time (shortest so far is 10 seconds, longest is roughly 30 minutes) my entire system will just freeze up. Display stays on but nothing I do will update the display and I will need to forcefully shut down the entire PC.
    I would rather not switch to a different browser.
    I'm certain this only happens with Firefox because it does not happen with IE, and I've been using Chrome for the last 10 mins without an issue. It does not seem to crash is safe mode.
    Not sure if I was getting unlucky but I was using the British version of fire fox and it would seem to crash more constantly then the American one.
    *EDIT*
    I just got the same crash with chrome. But it took a lot longer to happen compared to Firefox. I'm really confused as to what's happening now, I'm going to close my browsers all together now and try doing something else for a few hours, I don't think it's because my system is getting over powered because my stuff is very high end.
    I will post my system specs, then leave and come back in a few hours, to check for replies. Sorry if I take a while to get back to you.
    If you need additional information just ask.

    Processor-i7 3930k
    Mobo-asus p9x79 extreme

    I think that's the necessary specs.
    I'll see you all in a while.

  • Import seems to cause whole-system crash

    Attempting to import photos via an SD card-reader crashes the entire system, not just the app. I spent yesterday fidgeting around in Safe Mode, trying to send the white screen of death back to its cave so I can use my computer again. I've found plenty of app-crash threads, but has anyone else had their entire computer crash like this? Were you able to fix it?
    Thanks for any help you're able to give.

  • Dreamweaver CS6: Embedding Youtube Video causes DW to stop responding

    HI,
    I'm trying to build a simple site that displays an embedded youtube video on the main page. The video is placed in a div tag that is placed in a specific spot on the page background to make it appear as if it's playing on an old PC that's part of the image. I paste the code into the div tag in the code view and it appears as a grey box in design view. Everything seems fine up to there, however when I click live view DW CS6 stops responding and the design view window goes white. I've tried pasting the video embed code into my other page, and into a blank html document to see if it was a problem with the rest of the code but the same thing happens on any of the pages. If I save the page and preview in Chrome or Firefox the page displays the windows loading cursor for a few minutes and then returns a youtube error 6 (ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
    I spent a few hours researching and found nothing via Google searches, Adobe help or Lynda.com tutorials. I'm new to web design and CSS and got as far as I did through Lynda.com lessons. Which is to say I have an index page and a seperate game guide page that links back and forth displaying images and text exactly as I'd like. Everything else works well enough only the video embedding is giving me trouble which is frustrating because according to everything I've read it's supposed to be one of the simplest processes.
    I'm really at a loss as to how to fix this issue and would appreciate any help the Adobe community can give me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Good to know,
    I fixed the problem but I'm not exactly sure why this worked. I went to a different site that uses Youtube hosted videos and tried their embed code which appeared the same to my untrained eye. But to my surprise this other video worked perfectly, so I just put the url for my video in and it worked. I'm not sure why, as far as I can tell both embed codes are the same. Both use <iframe> tags. But it works now, suffice to say I've gained some respect for the people who do this stuff day to day.

  • Youtube videos causing errors in firefox

    The website I created in Muse includes 3 pages with Youtube videos. I made some minor changes to most of the pages and found that those pages containing Youtube videos are messed up in firefox.
    It looks like all the page content has moved to the left side.
    The biggest problem here is that the preview looks just fine. I upload the website, Muse opens firefox and the site still looks fine.
    I close firefox, open it again and the pages with videos are totally messed up.
    In opera, safari, chrome, ie the site is ok.
    I still have a version of this website from july that works fine, so it's not a major problem.
    But I can't make any changes.
    Any ideas?

    Some days ago I made some changes on our website and uploaded it to FTP Host... and had the same problem again! On some pages the content was messed up in firefox.
    And I also found the cure. The key F5! Firefox seems to store how your site looked before, which seems to mess up things. Not even deleting cookies or turning off
    your computer helps! So if you have problems in firefox, try F5.

  • Flash Causes Entire System to Crash

    I installed Arch for the third time about a month ago, the longest I've stuck with this distro. I think Arch is here to stay. The first two times I tried Arch, I went running back to Ubuntu or Fedora. However, thats not to say that I don't have some bugs to still work out.
    I'm running kernel26-lts if it matters, and I believe I'm running 32 bit flash rather than the 64 bit driver. I'm almost certain, but I'm unsure of how to double check the version of flash I'm running. After upgrading flash a week or so ago, flash video has been causing intermittent crashes. Is there a known issue with the new version of flash? Should I roll back to the previous version of flash, or perhaps try the 64 bit version?

    So I installed catalyst and removed xf86-video-ati. Flash seems to work MUCH  better, haven't had a crash yet today and I've been testing it with long videos and fullscreen. I'm fairly certain that I'm running flgrx and not the fallback video drivers (mesa or something?). How should I confirm this?
    Also, the following warnings appear now in my Xorg log. Is this anything to be concerned about?
    grep -E '\((WW|EE)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log

  • Videos cause iTunes to crash (Windows Vista)

    Hi, I'm a new user here, although I've been using iTunes for a long time. Recently I decided to use the iTunes store to buy a video for the first time, only to find that, A.) every time I try to play the video, iTunes immediately crashes ("iTunes has stopped working",) and B.) I can't play it on any other media player other than iTunes or QuickTime, thanks to DRM, and both choke and die instead of playing the video. The video will work on my other computer with XP, (albeit choppily,) so I know there's nothing wrong with the video files.
    I looked through FAQ's both on the Apple site and on Google, and followed the instructions presented, but nothing works other than reinstalling iTunes, (I tried downgrading to an earlier version, but it wouldn't let me open iTunes because it said that the library had been made for an updated version.) Reinstalling iTunes works until I restart my computer, at which point the same problem occurs again.
    As per the instructions on the Apple site, I went into QuickTime in the control panel and set video to "Safe Mode (GDI Only)," but the problem persists. Disabling ReadyBoost didn't make a difference either, so I reenabled it.
    I've read that storing the video files on a SATA drive can cause problems similar to this. What is a SATA drive, and is there a way for me to move it to a different drive?
    Barring that, I'm afraid I'll have to find a different source for videos, one that will allow me to play them on more versatile and hardy media players.

    Same problem here. Things were working fine until I upgraded to iTunes 8.1. Now, I am unable to play any .m4v video in iTunes or QT; however, I am able to play non-DRM .mp4 just fine. I believe that the issue must be codec related, but I have not identified the offender. Leave it to Apple to sell you a product that can only work on their system, but won't work on their system.
    Anyone having information as to WHY I cannot play DRM that I PAID for in a program DESIGNED ONLY FOR THAT DRM, please let me know as it is appreciated.

  • Videos cause Itunes to Crash

    Everything was fine yesterday, now today all of the sudden when I went to finish an episode of the X-Files that I had started last night, I just got a black screen and when I clicked on it it told me that iTunes needed to close now. I don't understand what could have changed between last night and this afternoon. I do use my TV as an external moniter, but I have been doing that for a few weeks now and havent had any trouble till now, I tried it on this moniter and I still got the same result. What could have caused the problem?

    I am having more frequent video playback crashes with Itunes. The videos do not crash when played back in quicktime. Seems to happen at random times and more frequently since last fall. I have an nvidia 8800 gts graphics card, c2d e6600 CPU, 2 gb ram, win xp pro. Video files are in several different libraries c: and d: drives. Videos are .mp4 format.

  • Mac OS X update (3/19/13) crashes my iMac.  After installing an automatic OS X update, every time I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 to print to my Epson R1800 printer (which worked perfectly just before the update), my entire system crashes.

    On 3/19/13 I was printing photos on my Epson R1800 printer using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 with no problems.  I got an automatic Apple OS X software update which I installed.  Ever since, when I try to print photos my iMac crashes.  How can I unistall the OS X update?

    What you are experiencing is called a Kernel Panic and is NOT caused by the OS, they can be difficult to troubleshoot as they can be software or hardware relate. The X Labs writes and excellent article about them, in Kernel Panics. Please read it carefully. In order to troubleshoot your KP you need to post your last KP log, Apple provides instructions for doing so in How to log a kernel panic. Please follow the instructions in that article and post your complete KP report.
    As mentioned previously it is NOT caused by OS X! There are common causes, including RAM issues, outdated applications, hard disks failing etc. By posting your KP log we can look at it and determine if it's software and if it is then point  you to what is causing the issue.
