vid card is GTX 460
driver is 266.58
adobe flash is latest version

some vids work, others show flashing green or just vids with some artifacts, tried latest vid driver but it was a lil worse so i'm using the ones i mentioned above. last night my screen went black as well as today for 2 seconds with the msg "no signal" then came back on by itself.

card going bad ? which i doubt.

any ideas what to try next ?

I've had problems playing flash movies ever since moving to firefox 4.
Occasionally resulting in hard crashes, having to reboot.

Not convinced about the correlation, but never had this problem using previous FF versions.

i've tried FF4, but went back to FF3.6.15 i think and everything worked fine, then it did an update to FF3.6.17 so i'm guessing the last update did it.

found a nice site but only about FF4 about the flash problem,


http://forums.opensuse.org/english/othe ... sue-2.html

tried it with 3.6.17 no luck yet :(

read other sites and FF knows theres a problem so does Adobe but not Adobes fault. They're working on it

i figured the prob.

one of the DVI connectors on the GFX went bad, switched to the other one and it's a new card again.
