Hey Gang,

So basically adobe flash updated to version 10.1 on friday/saturday i think it was, go to watch a you tube vid on Sunday and Blue Screen then restart! Arrrggh!

googled the issue and it appears it has happened to others, might be an issue with the latest release and running catylyst 10.3

Sooo i uninstall flash player 10.1 using adobes uninstall tool, then try to install a previous version of flash, but each time i try to install it, it defaults to 10.1 of flash again and surely enough it crashes.

By any chance do any of you guys have an older version of adobe flash exe? or is there something i am not doing right!

I finally 2 months ago got broadband, so one of my simple pleasures thus far has been you tube....... not any more and i cant be bothered waiting for all that time of a new version of flash to come out again!

hehe, this is why i never update drivers/versions in the first 2 months unless i need a problem fixed :P

Uninstall flash, and just google for an older version.

Either that or uninstall CCC and backdate that to 10.2

I'm still on 9.1 :blink:

yeah i think i might have to go back on the catalyst driver, have googled heaps of sites, the exe name even says an older version of flash but when it installs it defaults to 10.1 every time??

Yeah will go back on catalyst. I remember though there was a huge performance increase in the newest version of catalyst drivers, full article was on Toms Hardware, which is why i didnt want to go back on it.

Will have to bite the bullet Nismoid unless if anyone else has any options?

OK techie guys need ya help!

So just went from catalysrt 10.3 where i would get the BSOD whenever watching a flash video or you tube clip! it would restart after BSOD.

So i have now upgraded to catalsyt 10.6......... and .... still BSOD!

I have removed then reinstalled flash 10.1 with still no luck.

BUT i have also tried hunting down older versions of 10.1 with no luck, i DO find an older version and it says to "Click here to download flashplayer 9" but when i do it still defaults to re downloading 10.1 and surely enough installs as 10.1!

Anybody have any other ideas? I have googled and it seems a few others have had problems with no success, another answer was when the flash vid comes up to right click on the flash vid and select "disable hardware accelerator" sounds like a great idea but too bad my PC crashes before i can even click on a vid!

HEEEELP!!

Reason for the crashing is Adobe using the GPU for processing as opposed to the CPU. CUDA technology for nVidia and something equivelent for the ATI.

Try getting the latest Catalyst drivers and Adobe Flash.

The issue could also be to do with the browser. Just as a test can you try both internet explorer and firefox. I've personally experienced Firefox going funny after some plugin updates (not saying this never happens to internet explorer).

Could be as simple as re-installing the browsers.

Also ensure your Java is at the latest version - java is known to cause crashes too - but rarely as spectacular as a BSOD :)

Have updated to latest flash and latest catalyst, eveything has been updated. uninstalled then updated again.

What i did find interesting though is, i used Google chrome that utilises HTML 5 and not flash, went to you tube and guess what..... BSOD!! Arrrgh! dont know what the hell is happening but all i know is that i might have to complete a full wipe of the HDD's and start again :-(

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
