    Default Is Firefox crashing my PC??

    Hi All, a new computer problem at this end has popped up, some times when things get slow around here I watch videos on youtube, now here is the problem, at random times the video just stops and the PC locks up, I have to do a power down reset to get back up, this just started in the last few weeks.

    It a Dell all in Inspiron all in one, I have external fans mounted on it to keep it quite cool, and I don't think it's a hardware problem as all hardware scans and tests come up good.

    The reason i'm using an all in one is that the old back is giving me some problems, the all in one is mounted right next to the lounge chair, so it is very convenient.

    All hardware drivers are up to date, and firefox is the latest version, and window 7 ultimate is up to date.

    So....Has anyone had this problem? And do they have a fix or maybe the cause??

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Pc hardware tech i am not but i wonder if its not a youtube problem?Youtube has a daily time exception
    that seems to effect ppl differently some will get a warning you have exceeded your time limit i have heard some ppls pc have crashed.How are you using youtube straight from the site or from a kodi addon?I know you already know the scripting is different on kodi addons opposed to the sites.

    I sometimes get different results using youtube on my playlists using xml and json scripts

    xml
    Code:

    This may be not at all related to your problem but if i share my playlists some of those i share with have had problems with the time exceeded error using the xml script but not using the json script.

    You might run into similar problems with the time exceeded error at youtube if you and others on your network
    watch a lot I know i have read that some get the warning and some have had their pc`s crash.

    Can you try a different Browser (Chrome) see if it does the same thing ?
    Or could the Newest ver. of Firefox have a glitch in it with youtube
    also you could try and revert back to Classic YouTube in add-ons

    This may work, In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

    hardware acceleration is disabled (Options/Preferences -> General -> Performance)
    all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
    default theme is used (no lightweight theme)
    default toolbar layout is used
    xulstore.json is ignored
    userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder in profile folder)
    JavaScript JIT compilers are disabled

    plugins are not affected
    preferences are not affected

    This only happens on one PC, I have 7 plus a server, I don't think it's a timeout problem as the other PC's work fine.

    This only happens on youtube, and I'm using Firefox with W7 on all.

    I done use chrome as it reports too much info back to google.

    I will try the Firefox in safe mode and see what happens. (on that PC)

    I'm going to try Opera and see what happens.

    It still might be a driver issue (video) like DU said.

    One other thing you could try is roll back FF to a older ver. and see what happens

    Are you using FF in 32/64 mode ?

    Might be Adobe Flash Player hardware acceleration
    Remove the check mark from Enable hardware acceleration.

    Do you use a program like CC Cleaner to clear out junk files once and a while?

    i bet is you hardware acceleration in Flash Player

    • Go to this Adobe Flash Player Help page.
    • Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    • Click on Settings in the context menu. ...
    • Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel.


    As to the monitor, turn off the screen saver when you play videos.
    There are also software screen savers you can use.

    FF is in 64 bit mode, as stated this just started happening.

    And all scans for malware, virus and ccleaner have done nothing to fix/find a problem.
