Computer seems to crash when viewing a youtube video
Hi there,
For a while my computer would do this strange thing where the screen would go black or blue or white with grey lines. Sometimes I could still hear the music playing in the background from a youtube video or a video game. In my attempt to narrow it down, I tried cleaning out/updating drivers, and discovering which program was causing it. It appears to stem from something on my web browser. Recently, I upped the voltage to my RAM sticks through my BIOS settings, nothing extreme, but up a few points. Seemed to have helped. Then I loaded up a youtube video, and the crash occurred. I played with it, and the crash re-occurs everytime I youtube a video. My Administrative Events Log shows a repeating series of events. I've attached a screen shot of it. I'm still not entirely convinced the problem is simply due to youtube, but I'm unsure of how to solve this. I did read a recommendation that Kernel-Power issues may be Power Supply related. I popped in a new and larger Power Supply earlier today and the issues still stand. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks |

Try another browser, with a new Flash Player install. I recommend Firefox.
Check your install integrity against the perfect install demonstrated in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 paying special attention to how drivers are handled in Win7 since it's not at all like XP. Work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 to go over your install with a fine tooth comb. |
