i decided to start building a computer since i noticed i cant trust the ones i buy new to have all up to date parts with out spending an arm and a leg on a custom built pc, seems like they always leave something out or use a mother board thats like 3 years old or some bullshit. so i just installed a AMD 6100 cpu and and some type of micro atx board with 4 gigs of ram.(and if you want to start telling me i should scrap it for an intel cpu, take it somewhere else because im sick of that dispute and it gives me a head ache. i bought what i bought) so everything is in, drivers are installed, computer boots and runs fine. but out of nowhere Pandora wont load, telling me its taking longer then expected to load the next song before it ceases to stop trying all together, and youtube videos wont go full screen. when i try to click full screen the video will only take up the top corner, leaving the rest of the screen black. other video sites still go full screen though. then some pages will randomly stop loading, telling me that they can load "shockwave flash"(which confuses me because its worded like shockwave and flash are the same program) and the last issue is that when i try to use google chrome's url bar as a search bar, it tells me the site im visiting has an invalid security certificate and wont load the page. i have to go to google.com and then use the search bar, even though my favorite part of chrome is using the search ability in the URL. so these are all very random and seemingly un-related issues, so i didnt know what to look up for trouble shooting. it happened like literally the same day i swapped the parts, so i must have done something, or forgot to do something. i figured maybe someone could actualy make the connection im not making. im thinking all the issues may be centered around flash and shockwave, but i got know clue. if i didnt play video games i would have broken and bought a mac yeeeeaaarrrrrsssss ago. im sick of Microsoft, PC's and the laundry list of parts, companies and issues associated with them.

Just wondering if you updated your MB's BIOS to the newest version. Your problems are certainly odd. I suppose you have already tried unistalling Chrome and installing it fresh, along with going to the Shockwave and Flash sites to verify you are using the newest versions? I have a 8350, but ran a 6100 for about 6 months and never had any of the problems you have. I did update the BIOS for each CPU. I use Chrome and Pandora all the time without any of your problems.
i'll do some googleing and figure out how the bios works and try that. your running the fx 8350? how's that run? im stuck on getting that or an i-5 3750. everyone seems to go intel, but some how i feel the difference between those two specific cpu's are so minuscule that the average joe like me wont even notice.
Did you reset the time and date in bios? This can cause many security problems if its set itself back to default.
{A cpu swap can cause this if you took battery out or re set cmos.}
(often months behind the real time) as every security certificate shows as not valid yet

The 8350 is a lot faster than the 6100! I also have an Intel 3930 with 680sli all water cooled strictly for gaming, but at 51, I don't game all that frequently. I got the Intel system from a divorced engineer down the street for too cheap, so I couldn't turn it down. At retail it's so much more money it's not fair to compare. Yes Intel are better, but I use my 8350 all day with 6950 running four monitors and occasionally game on this too. On one 1080p screen, I have no problems playing anything with high enough settings to be happy, so I don't really care about all the Red vs Blue stuff. I use 3 SSD's, and an Asus M5A99x MB that has a EPU setting that allows my 8350 to run signifcantly cooler most of the time and yet will instantly go to full speed when needed, kinda like Cool n Quiet on steriods.
Your BIOS upgrade: Go to manufacturers site and download new BIOS on a USB stick, Unzip it. Restart computer with USB inserted. In BIOS, go to Tools. The BIOS tool should list the new BIOS and you choose it. It will then scan it for errors and then ask you repeatedly if you really want to do this. YES! It takes care of the rest and will usually restart into the new BIOS, where you have to confirm all the settings, like RAM and most importantly the Boot Order. If you have more than one HD, make sure the OS HD is second after the DVD drive. Most other settings should be good unless you have upgraded RAM, which you may have to specify, 1333 to 1600. Restart and you should be good to go!
