Is it me or is Flash an ongoing POS. Was watching some vid's on YT last night when not only did it not play the entire system froze for a second then went to BSOD then re-booted on it's own. I'm running the latest, Flash version, FF 22.0, Radeon 4830 with the latest catalyst driver's, somewhat outdated E8400@3.6ghz/4Gb RAM/Gigabyte MB, ICH7 chipset, Kingston 120GB SSD. any ideas, suggestions? (besides Flash sucks, live with it!)..

Can you post the entire error msg from the BSOD? That could help tracking down the problem...
I have a feeling it is something to do with the video driver.

No, unfortunately I didn't "report" it, I'll look around and see if it's still on the hard drive somewhere, you right though, it did involve the video driver, I remember reading that much in the log..

It should be in the system event log I think...
OK, I think I found it.

EDIT: Shoot, I'm not sure that's it, I had no idea windows generates so many log files!, a lot of them refer to blustacks, that was an android emulator that I tried and worked badly so I uninstalled it, I found some stuff for it in the registry with regedit so I just deleted that too, maybe that was part of the issue, IDK..
