Title: Youtube/Flash crashing my pc?
Post by: Technical Ben on Oct 25, 2010, 14:35:00
(Perhaps a Technical Help sub forum to PC discussion? Especially for me, when I keep breaking things. :P)

Youtube video is currently cause a graphics driver crash afaik. I get a red/blue stripped screen and no response at all when I try to watch a video. I'm trouble shooting right now, but wondered if anyone has experienced the same or has any ideas?
[Test 1. Media player works fine. So it's not general Video...]
[edit]
Reinstalled flash. It's working so far. Wonder if my overclock broked it.

Hmmm. Seems fixed. Emergency over. :D I can watch this now.

Meh. It's only a small O.C. on a high spec chip. People are adding 50% to their chips these days with no sweat. Seems it's only marketing keeping the speeds down. (IE, don't release the 4hgz chip, till the 3.2 ones have sold. ;) )
