2 x youtube videos = computer crash

Has anyone seen this problem before?
When ever i have more than one youtube video running my computer locks up and crashes.
The only think i have added to my computer lately was some flash player to get Steam videos working, think that might be a cause?

Might be, only install the basic adobe flash player, you shouldn't need any extras...

That didnt work, i uninstalled all adobe stuff and reinstalled the 10.1 but it still locks up. I think i can see a BSOD, but i have to hold down the off button to get the thing to tuen off, the bsod flashes up seconds before the computer turns off.
Any ideas on how to keep that bsod on?

According to the 'reliability and problem log' it might be something to do with C:\Windows\SysWOW64\mshtml.dll. This seems to be something to do with 32bit compatibility stuff.

This may be daft, but can i uninstall Windows Explorer and reinstall it?

Hmmm, sorry for the tripple post but.

I tried Safari net browser that uses a different version of flash player, it still crashed.
So im guesisng it cant be adobe or the browser, so it must be something else.

What are my options at this point?

i used to had about the same problem. my pc crash when watching any video in fullscreen. i then know that it was caused by overclocking the memory. maybe it has something to do with your hardware become unstable.

Try turning off hardware acceleration in the options of adobe, I had that problem with a gt220

My display drivers used to crash with just 1 youtube video, no idea why.

This was the cause for me as well, after trial and error with internet browsers and different versions of flash i tried deleting nvidia drivers (and only using the basic Win7 drivers) - It stopped crashing.

Luckly nvidea had brought out a newer driver so i downloaded this and all is still fine. I say luckly because ive had trouble from the last 3 or 4 nvidia driver updates. Hopefully this time every will stay working.

Thanks for the help.

Just to add, there used to be issues with flash and 64 bit internet explorer do you had to use it in 32 bit mode.

Just really make sure you have the LATEST graphic card drivers, the latest adobe flash player and all updates for you Windows installation.

If the problem still remains I'd try it in Firefox/Chrome and see if you still have the problem. If that is the case then I'd do uninstall of graphic card drivers, adobe flash, reboot and reinstall again.

If all else fails, Windows reinstall... but some people really don't like this
