Zxian Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Don't cross post... it just messes us up when we try to answer your questions. Stick with one thread and you'll get all your eggs in one basket.As for the problem (and looking at a suggestion in the hardware discussion thread) does it happen with only movies.yahoo.com? or Does it also happen with other flash sites such as www.homestarrunner.com?

Aegis Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Maybe the Flash versions you had were incompatible with some of your hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbramer1134 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 it happens with other flash sites also like it did it one day with msn.com and other sites also....but i know for a fact that movies.yahoo.com makes it restart every time....if it is that the version is incompatable ..where do i get previous versions?....sry for the cross posts....

gunsmokingman Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Take out your sound card and then see if you can go to those sites with outit rebooting. If you can go to those sites then it was your sound card.I have a cheap pci sound card that used to cause the same type of problems,for me it would just reboot for no reason or freeze up the computer. I took thepci card out and enable the on board sound card and that seemed to stop therebooting problem and freeze problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 There is (maybe) simple answer - did you UNCHECK restart instead of BSOD in you System - Advanced? Have a look to %windir%\Minidump, can you see any files inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbramer1134 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 i already unchecked the restart on error check box and it still just restarts no matter what ....no bluescreen or codes to look up...as for the minidump ....i think im going to look at that when i get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hmm, no Minidump... I would try to solve it through debug console and another computer rather then trying to replace every part of PC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbramer1134 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 how do i do a debug with another machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Hmmm, it is quite harder - usually using serial ports... But it is still worth learning. If you are interested, you can begin here:http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/deb...debugstart.mspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbramer1134 Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 quick question about debugging again....what is a null modem cable?...because in the txt it instructs you to do the following1.If you want to debug kernel-mode code, set up a host computer to run the debugger and a target computer to run the code being debugged. Connect the two computers using either an IEEE 1394 cable or a null-modem cable between two serial ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Null modem cable is serial cable... Crossed serial cable... I remember times, when games were supporting "online" gaming through Null-modem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udine Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 so i figured lets start new and see what happens....i got a spare hard drive ...reformatted it.....and installed windows XP with a different XP disk then the previous install....then installed SP2 cuz it wasnt installed yet and then went to yahoo movies and nothing happened....but flash wasnt installed.....so i installed flash and went to the site and bang instantly it restarted....also the MSN site made it restart so my guess is its some kinda plugin problem....it also does it with firefox....i have the newest version of flash installed and still restarts...i have no clue how to fix this.....someone please help!!! ive hadmonths of headaches and i need to get this thing running smooth before i go away to college.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since you got a spare hdd, reinstalled & nothing happened UNTILL you installed flash im guessing there's NO hardware fault... maybe you have some form of corrupt flash installer??Some software/files are causing the restarts in my opinion...but i could be wrong, seen computers do crazy thingz before...try gettin anotha ver of your flash installer somewhere else...
