darudey Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Hi, every now and then my entire OS crashes (blank screen) during the playback of a flash video, e.g. video on youtube.com. I don't know any other way but to do a hard reset. I'm using flash-player-plugin-10.1.53.64-1plf2010.0.i586 Mandriva One 2010.0 I'm very much a newbie, but I have been running Mandriva since Jan. I'm happy to post any logs you can point me to. [moved from Software by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 It is possible you have a hardware problem. Do you know how to test your RAM using memtest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I and some other users on another forum were having problems such as this only when running the flash videos full screen. Try running the flash videos in a window instead of full screen. It doesn't seem to be caused by the video card, as some users had nVidia and others ATI. Sorry, I don't have time to search for that other forum thread just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
