Adobe Flash Crashes IE & Computer

RAZOR0018 · June 17th, 2009, 09:26 PM

I have an ongoing problem where streaming flash videos sometimes randomly crashes Internet Explorer and my computer along with it. This is the only time these crashes occur. Sometimes it just reboots and sometimes it actually shows a BSOD.

My computer was made, overclocked and tested by a close friend and I am not too hardware savvy. This person is not within communication reach any longer and I would like to know whether this is a common problem with an easy solution. I found a site that stated this is common with ATI drivers but didn't provide a solution. Also the problem extends to updated drivers aswell.

I have attached my system information in a text file. I had to place it in a zip to bypass the txt size limit. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Personally, as much as I was 'stuck' using IE for so long, I decided some time ago to use FireFox. I haven't looked back since.

IE6, 7, and 8 all gave me headaches with random lock ups, crashes, etc. I'd suggest at least giving FF a trial and see how things behave. You just may get convinced as was I.

Good luck!

I am using internet explorer since v3 and it never BSOD on me.

try to reinstall flash or get someone to check your overclock.

maybe your computer is overheating.

What does the BSOD say?
