Win7 crashing on flash video?

[jaspap]

I just recently finally built my new PC, but it seems to crash when I am watching youtube videos, or streams of starcraft2. I am thinking it has to do with Adobe Flash, tried going into settings and turning off hardware accel. The problem is still there, seems to happen for sure once a week. Please, any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

hmm...drop everything to stock.

actually,before that,hook up with a live cd,ubuntu mint etc.

run it off that,without installing nada. if you still get crashes,then it is hardware.

I never overclocked, it's all been stock. Sorry, I dont understand the cd thing?

get this : Main Page - Linux Mint

put it on a dvd

run your pc off it,watch youtube videos etc. if all ok,then just software

if crashes? hard ware.

I should of also mentioned, that the pc freezes, and the sound just make a high pitch buzzing noise. There is no blue screen.

ok,burn ubuntu or mint to dvd and use it,see what gives.

Hmm, have you tried playing a H.264 with DXVA? Does that crash windows?

Try Flash Updates came out yesterday.

I decided to run "error checking", for my hard drive last night. It ran, got to stage 5 out of 5, 79%, then it locked up. Tried it again, locked again, tried it one more time, and locked up at 95%. Went to work, got home now, and maybe it's just me, but I swear my PC is running slower now? Hmmmm, I am so lost, I am pretty sure my hardware is fine, when I google my question, there seems to be a lot of people having these issues. With many suggestions.
Turn off "auto hide task bar"
Turn off screen shutdown.
Go into MOBO bios, and change to performance setting
Manually set your RAM timings
I would really rather fix this myself, but maybe I will have to bring it somewhere, hope not.

Well it just froze on again while I was doing a Windows update,dam, I am so lost here. I went into the BIOS, have a couple questions.
1 - My i52500K was running at 59 degrees, is that fine for using the stock heat sink?
2 - @ SATA Configuration, should all the "Hot Plug"'s be turned off? I dont even know what that is.
3 - It lists my cpu fan, but does not show any chassis fans, no speed, no nothing?Is that normal?
