System freezing.

Hey, the other day i was watching something on iplayer and my screen just froze and my sound went crazy, i tried turning my pc off but it wouldn't so i had to turn it off by the PSU at the back,
it had been fine for a week but its just done it twice again while on itv player. It wouldn't be my CPU overclock would it? because its been fine while gaming etc. Im thinking its something to do with flash.

I'd just suggest reinstalling Flash for all browsers installed, then trying again, come back when you've tried it.

I uninstalled it the other day and installed an older version of flash to see if it helped but no go.

perchance are you running win7? i had an issue at the start that during browsing or booting up and such that my system froze, read up on it and seems it was something to do with the power settings...

I changed my power settings in windows to high performance and havent had the issue since

turn off hardware acceleration in your browser and flash player

flash and firefox I bet you are using.
