Ever since the latest windows update my computer has been randomly freezing while watching youtube videos or playing games alongside a loud droning robotic sounding buzzing noise that plays the audio in slow motion. If a wait a min or two my computer resumes normally. All my temps are fine. what the hells going on?

Ran a memory test and my ram is fine

Gtx 680 2gb
8gb ddr3 ram

that sounds like yet another Flash player issue. nothing to do with your hardware. try re installing flash or restore your system to how it was before the update.

I just looked at my update logs and yeeep sure enough I installed a flashplayer update as well

I already tried to go back to a restore point before I had my updates but it failed and apparently corrupted the restore point .-.

are there lots of people currently having issues with the new flash update?

flash player has been problematic for years. it's just a terrible piece of software. that's why everyone from android to Mac OS X has dumped it. i've had this issue too. i had to completely remove flash player (do a registry clean up and all) and re install it.

also, chrome has its own built in version of flash player written by google. might want to give that a whirl to see if that helps out.

SOOOO so far I've been playing the most intensive game I own (skyrim completely modded out with an intense enb preset) and watching videos on youtube. All has been well.....BUT

I went on tumblr and when someones music started playing on their blog (which was ripped from youtube) i got the same slow droning robotic sounding buzzing and my computer froze for about 40 seconds.

So this seems to be a flash issue, I already uninstalled via the control panel and I WOULD do a registry cleanup but I have no idea what I should delete from said registry...

if you could point me in the direction of how to go about deleting it completely i would be a happy man

Well after going through and completely deleting adobe flash my problems have gone! I'm still going to keep the thread open for a while to see if anyone has another opinion on this or if there's something else I should do.

i actually removed flash my laptop altogether too (2013 13" retina macbook pro). on my desktop (windows 7 ult pro x64, specs in the sig) i have flash disabled in my default browser, which is firefox. i keep chrome for those times when i absolutely need flash.

you can actually change your default youtube format to HTML5 rather than flash. which is what i did. check this page out: https://www.youtube.com/html5
