Hi everyone, I've used tom's hardware in the past for it's rich information, I'm hopeful that now this fine community can help me fix my problem.
The Problem: As the title of the thread reads, any and all flash content will and suddenly freeze my computer. Also, and I don't know if this relates, but any DVDs I play via Windows Media Player will freeze it. When I run WEI, it will freeze when tuning Windows Media Encoding.
It All Started: It all started after I reverted to using my PC monitor (via VGA cable) from my TV which I connected with an HDMI cable.
What's Been Done: I manually uninstalled the older version of flash I had and then manually installed the new flash update.
I discovered that flash would not update itself for Firefox (my default browser). When I'd d/l the 1.0 mb downloader from their website, it wouldn't open. Ever. No matter what. I ended up doing an uninstall/install of the latest version (the version I was running was 11.0 lol).
The Computer: (don't laugh) eMachines EL1352G-01W running Windows 7 Home Prem 64-bit that my wife picked up from walmart a few years ago. It was always sorta not great for anything. I recently upgraded some components on it to make it somewhat fit for gaming (i.e. Starcraft, WoW, and Rocksmith). I'm not a die-hard gamer or PC guy by any means, so I'm content with what I did. (It's a loooooooong story on how and why but...) I upgraded to an ATI Radeon 5450 HD low profile from Newegg, a used AMD Athlon II X2 245, and an EVGA 400 watt psu.
Your inputs and help are appreciated, thanks in advance!
