Computer crashes when reading custom sounds

After downloading any file using Download Manager or DownloadThemAll, Firefox will freeze my computer. The hard disk completely stops. The keyboard and mouse are unresponsive; not even the caps or NumLock can turn the lights on my keyboard.

I did a disk check and a memory test, which found no errors.

When to disable the download completed sounds for two of these addons, Firefox functions normally.
This is not only a problem of addon, however, because TBird has developed a similar problem at the same time. (See my report this error, please go here: https://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/freezes_computer_when_playing_custom_sounds )

All other sounds play very well, on YouTube and local actors.

To better solve this problem, I really need to know how Firefox (and TBird) play sounds. This problem appeared out of the blue without updates or the other program. I recently had to install java 7 64-bit, after already running only 32-bit on my 64-bit machine. I heard that this program is very buggy and could have caused serious problems. I uninstalled java and reinstalled java 6 32 bits, but that does not solve the problem. I think of a sound driver can have gone wrong, but it makes no sense that I can player other sounds seems fine, even Java take like Minecraft.

I have yet to discover another method by which I can reproduce this accident and I have tested intensively.

Thanks for your help.

Obsolete pluggins were:
Java - I rolled back to version 6 I thought it might be my problem.
Adobe Reader
QuickTime
Google Earth
I also have the VLC Player web, which was up to date.

I recently came across a YouTube video which could cause in the same way to the crash site, so apparently, players can have the same effect.

I'll check my audio drivers as well to see if they could also be at fault.

  • couple of days later *.

After updating the drivers, the problem disappeared. We are assuming that the problem was corrupt, drivers may be caused by 64-bit java 7, but this is just speculation.

Thank you
Problem solved

    Hello SherryGodfrey,

    I see that you have problems with the computer crashes when you try to play videos. I would like to help with this question, but I need some information.

    Can you provide the full model and the product number of the computer? Here is a link that shows how to find this information.

    Why my computer crash when I play minecraft?

    Original title: the computer crashes

    To allow someone to help you, you must provide additional information.

    For example:

    -How and when it crash (i.e. it just do not start, or the game starts and then crashes to the desktop, etc.).

    -Are there exact error messages or error codes?

    -What are the specifications/brand/model of your PC (RAM/CPU/GPU, etc.)

    If the game is designed for an earlier version of Windows (e.g. Windows XP) have you tried compatibility mode to see if it works OK. Or try to install the game via this mode as well.

    In the meantime, does that help? (found through a search fast V forum)

  • the computer crashes when video Skype calling

    OK, so during a video call, the other night, my laptop Averatec running Windows XP home overheated and shut down, I restarted, since then when I go to the video conference on Skype, my computer crashes, restarts and gives me several different answers, for example a blue error screen, malware, software spies ect in conflict.

    Since this place has started, I took the following steps and not to find another solution.

    • check disk
    • updated Sytem
    • Update driver
    • Update directX
    • Uninstall / reinstall Skype
    • installation of mcafee
    • Disk Cleanup
    • removal of unwanted emissions

    I can't understand what other solution to use

    Other that the timelysupportof the right answer, you could do things * methodically * and in the following order:

    1. Uninstall Skype.
    2. Update your web maison.* of manufacturers motherboard chipset driver
    3. Update your audio device driver, since manufacturers web maison.*
    4. Update your video device since the manufacturers driver web maison.*
    5. Update your network from the Web pages of manufacturer (s) device driver. *
    6. Reboot and install CCleaner.  Run and cleaning of loose files it finds.
    7. Download and install MalwareBytes and SuperAntiSpyware (FREE for BOTH) and run scans of complete system with each of them (one at a time) and remove all found each of them.
    8. Open the registry and find the Skype entries and remove them.  Everything you find.  HKLM and HKCU areas in particular.
    9. Reboot again.
    10. Run a CHKDSK on all readers
    11. Perform a defrag on all readers
    12. Reboot again.
    13. Visit http://winodwsupdate.microsoft.com/ and install all the updates that are not optional (optional and hardware software optional can be ignored) and who do not update anything you don't want to update (such as Internet Explorer, etc.)
    14. Restart and repeat 13-14 until you have updated not more not optional, you need to install.  Reboot once more for good measure.
    15. Download the latest version of Skype and install it. Reboot before running it.

    * If possible, go the real manufacturer - not the whole machine - but the device.  For example, if you have an Intel chipset based motherboard, download the drivers for it to Intel.  If you have a video device nVidia, download the drivers for it from nVidia.  If you have a Broadcom network device, download the drivers for it from Broadcom.  If you have a RealTek audio device, download the drivers for it from RealTek.  And so on...

    If, after doing all this in this order, it still does not - it is probably a hardware problem or a Skype number.  However, you might try ONE last thing.  SFC/scannow.  You will need your Windows XP CD-ROM.

    After that - you are really left with material/Skype or something messed up so you might resign yourself to try a full installation of fresh erase (although I wouldn't do if I couldn't have my disk image and send it to where it was before I tried.)

Also provide more information on your computer on its brand, model and if it has been recently formatted.

  • My computer crashes when I start a game.

    Until recently, my computer was crashing when I start a game. I have checked my replaced CPU thermal compound, watched my CPU temp, but I still cannot understand why my PC crashes without warning. So as is the entire process of my PC crashing. So I run my game (for example Dota 2) I join a game, and then all of a sudden my PC just stop. No warning just black screen. My PC specs:

    CPU: Intel Core i7 940 2.93 Ghz. CPU of Ram: 12GB. System type: 64-Bit. GPU: AMD Radeon HD series 7900. PSU: 600 watts

    Help, please.

    If you think that it happens after installing updates then go for a restoration of the system. Select any restore point when everything was working fine.
