Graphics card Radeon laptop on platform Windows 8 crashes when you watch videos in Firefox. Problem does not replicate on other browsers. Is there a solution?

I have a 4540 of Hp ProBook with a Radeon 7 x chip video integrated of series, platform Windows 8.1. When I watch videos with the browser Firefox video adapter fails and the computer sometimes freezes. If I watch videos with another browser I don't have a problem. I went to HP and have downloaded the latest drivers from AMD but still no will. So far, the only solution is to not use Firefox when watching video clips. In short, I don't know what direction to go, and since the problem seems to be specific with Firefox, I thought I would draw your attention to the problem.

Some additional info... If I bypass the Radeon chip, i.e. use the alternate Intel video chip, I don't have a problem. It said the native PC with Windows 7 pro with the upgrade software and the key of Windows 8. In any case when 7 was installed there where no problems with the playback of videos in Firefox. Installing Windows 8 was installed a clean place, not an upgrade...

Thank you

I forgot a second hardware acceleration setting, which is changed in Flash itself. See this article from Adobe technical support: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues

    If this is the case, read this:

    Maybe you have a distressed Explorer Shell Extension.

    Several recent systems of the incidents involving Acer and MyWinLocker of EgisTec (which is already known to include some suspicious Explorer shell extensions) that could come preinstalled on your system.

    Even if your system is not at Acer there installed MyWinLocker and since there were many reports indicate that it contributes to crashes explore it seems a good place to start looking.

    If you look in your installed programs and find MyWinLocker or whatever it is of EgisTec and you don't know what that is, or why it is there consider just uninstall, restart, and then see how things work.

    If you have determined that MyWinLocker or any other program EgisTec intervene follow GP below, so you will be able to see all Explorer shell extensions.

    If you see all the extensions of EgisTec, software security PSD, eDataSecurity, DragDropProtect (they will be some of pink extensions) start with these first.

    If none of these things exist, continue:

    When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.  You can also see some errors of NAT (DEP, Data Execution Prevention).  DEP errors are reported when XP will be threatened by a program and Windows stops threatening program.  Windows should never feel threatened by the Explorer Windows (or Internet Explorer) to less that some add-on is the cause.

    Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you install the new software.

    Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

    If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.

    If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

    First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After you launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths, so you can see everything clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems, which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move up or move down in the column of Microsoft is narrower upwards (Mount) so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the header of column called Microsoft (it can be the way out of the right side of the screen) to sort the display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) so all non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' and be marked in pink because they are not extensions Microsoft, something like this:

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    If you see extensions which do not have anything that is listed under Description, Version, product name, company or have special names that looks like they might be letters and numbers just randomly, you might want to look at these first.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the Explorer accidents or mistakes DEP and what other people have done about it.

    You can Google something like:

    Windows Explorer crash

    You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

    Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in small groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition (right click).  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    A user reported that it was necessary to restart the browser after each adjustment to do that press Ctrl-E since in ShellExView.

    If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

    Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

    Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, then restart and test again to be sure.   You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

    You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

    If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.

    When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

    The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

    I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

    If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list!

    I am running the retail version of Windows 7. NWN2 had worked without any difficulty (out of 7), but in the course of the last days began to shut down my PC completely. No warning, just a black screen and the PC turns off. Sometimes I get through creation of character on solo - sometimes not. I've updated the BIOS and video drivers.

    Maybe an automatic update that changed the equation...

    Anyone with similar problems? Does anyone have a solution?

    You will certainly want to ensure that your video drivers are up to date.  You can also look into any update of the BIOS that may be available.  You can also perform a clean boot and see if there is any other software that may conflict with the game.

  • Streaming Windows function stalls when you watch Xfinity - especially MSNBC and now CNN so

    I assume that it is a matter of Windows because I am working on a Toshiba Satellite with Intel Pentium CPU B940 2.00 2.00 GHZ GHz (dual processor), 4 GB of memory and by the looks of the monitor resource, everything works correctly.

    Neutral is not a problem of buffering... programs can be blocked for 20 minutes and then a commercial comes on and then it crashes again. This does not mean that the system takes to every commercial, just that from time to time a salesperson can run. This problem occurs with both IE and Google Chrome.

    Now I think Video card - except, I can see network activity on the resource monitor is flat.

    Thanks Kal,

    It turns out that the problem was / is with Comcast. I thought after the last weekend of 2Mbps they had fixed system there and they had 25 Mbps churning... but then, I checked after validation and in fact they go back up to 2 Mbps and more slowly...

  • Windows 8 gel when you use Chrome or Firefox

    Since a few weeks I was faced with a very annoying problem. I use Windows 8 Pro 32 bit on a laptop Asus-F5SL-AP141. Every time when I was using Chrome the whole OS froze at random for like 1-2 minutes, if I was able to move the mouse pointer, but everywhere where I clicked nothing happened. This gel is usually 5 - 10 times a day. Also sometimes when she is back from frozen state it dropped free wifi too. Checked event viewer and found that each freeze he creates a log with The event 1014 ID and the following text: "the name resolution for the s.youtube.com name exceeded after none of the configured DNS servers responded". Finally, the s.youtube.com part is the only thing that changes every time the newspaper.

    Tried to do some research about it on the forums and tried many steps without success. So I decided to reinstall the whole system and tested for a few days with the following results:

    1. Installation tried Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1 -online everything was going well, Chrome used for 3-4 days while installed other programs as well.
    2. And then installed Windows 8 Pro 32-bit still => I don't HAVE NOT install anything, not even the updates from Windows Update
      • With IE10 has not experienced the problem of gel for 1 week
      • Then tried to install Chrome (still nothing got installed) and yepp, the issue was again immediately after 30 minutes of use, I had 2 freezes and the event 1014 in Event Viewer
      • Tried to disable everything in Chrome (including hardware acceleration, the flash plugin)
      • The operating system has been also frozen when I didn't even Chrome run... so the only solution is to uninstall Chrome
      • Also tried with another internet network-online the same question
      • Tried to install different drivers WLAN, but it did not help. In any case, I was using the same old driver before with no problems, so I guess that's not the one causing the headaches...
      • Uninstalled Chrome and tried Firefox => unfortunately it produces also exactly the same problem, except when it is closed the gel does not occur. Also tried to turn the flash off.

    So, my conclusion is that Chrome and Firefox has another thing that IE does not work... but I can't find what it can be... Also I don't understand not why this happens not on Windows 7? I want to use Firefox or Chrome outside of IE, so I really need someone's help!

    Thanks for sharing your ideas and suggestions.

    Hello!

    FOR INFO!

    I managed to solve the problem. I've updated the BIOS a couple of weeks, but I have not thought of that as a source of the question so far... BUT it has been. I just downgraded to the previous version (via BIOS menu) that I had before and that's the freezing issue disappeared! :)

    So you can mark my post as an answer! Thanks anyway for your efforts!

  • Windows Explorer crashes when you open any folder with MPEG2 files.

    WinXP SP3 - When you open any folder with MPEG2 files, windows Explorer crashes. If the folder contains only the MPEG1 files, it opens without a problem. We first thought it was a problem of media player, but we can not even click on a file to open it in media player.

    Hi kathyd,.

    ·        You did changes to the computer before this problem started?

    Since we do not know what is causing this problem, I'd suggest unanimous the event viewer on your computer and check the details in the window logs messages/error codes important related to the question, during the time where this problem occurs and after return.

    Event logs can help you identify and diagnose the source of current system problems or help you predict potential system problems.

    Access the link below to learn how to view and manage the event logs in Event Viewer in Windows XP

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/event_overview_01.mspx?mfr=true

    You can try to start both computers in safe mode and check if it can open the folder where the MPEG 2 files are stored and if windows Explorer crashes. To boot to the desktop in safe mode keep tapping key F8 during restart. Once you see the option to start in safe mode select and press to enter.

    I hope this helps. Post back with the required information.

  • Windows Vista crashes and displays a screen saying "the program does not.

The accident appears as frozen screen and sometimes the program says State "program does not. I have tried different tricks like turning off screen saver, change the setting for power, HARD drive always 'on '... But no changes have so far resolved the issues.

    I was not able to identify a single application or function as the source of my problems...

    My Vista works very well, but if a leave as the computer and screen saver starts or the computer screen will energy efficient, it will crash when I "wake up".

    I've updated the system and all the applications and drivers, but the system is still unstable and cannot be left for an extended period of time before this crash. As long as I'm working on the PC all works. If I leave my PC, I have to turn it off.

    Hello

    Did you change your computer?

    Method 1:

    Step 1:

    I suggest you check in safe mode.

    Start your computer in safe mode

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    Step 2:

    If you are able to start your computer in safe mode, I suggest you perform the clean boot and check.

    Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    To set up the computer in a clean boot, follow the steps in the link: How to perform a clean boot

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: After checking in the clean boot, follow step: 7 article to reset your computer to normal startup.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to see the link and check out the program does not.

    What does it mean when a program is not responding?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-does-it-mean-when-a-program-is-not-responding

    Method 3:

    I suggest to download and install the Microsoft safety scanner and run the scan and check.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Windows Explorer crashes when you open folders that contain pictures.

    From this point, I'm exasperated!  Whenever I try to open a folder containing images, windows Explorer crashes.

    I did a thorough check of the spyware.  I jumped through hoops attempting to clean the cache thumb and no joy.

    When it first started happening, I thought it was too many files in a folder.  That does not seem to resolve things for a while, but the problem is back.

    There may be too much data in the folder or the display on the screen.  You have pictures instead of icons in these records?  Go to start / Control Panel / folder Options / view and check the box for display icons instead of thumbnails.  See if that solves the problem.

    If this isn't the case, create a single image and save the file.  Create a folder in Windows Explorer and save the file to this folder.  Try to open this file.  You have the same problem or does it work?  If this works, there may be something true in what you said about the size of the files.  If she has the same problem, then you must do some serious troubleshooting to try to find the cause and fix.

    I hope this helps. Keep me informed.

    Often, a certain instability in Windows Explorer is due to the defective shell extensions and addons.
    Consider using Sysinternals Autoruns or ShellExView. Disable Add-ons and non Microsoft shell extensions and verify the behavior.  If he went, reactivate the disabled extensions/add-ons, one at a time and see if you can identify who may be liable.
    Try a clean boot, or boot into safe mode.  The behavior persists?
    If you continue to experience the problem, consider creating the hierarchy of following registry keys in the registry:
    HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe\
    In the explorer.exe key, create a REG_EXPAND_SZ value named DumpFolder and set the value to%systemdrive%\localdumpsdata.  Ensure that the %systemdrive%\localdumps file exists, and then cause the crash to happen.  It must be a dump file in %systemdrive%\localdumps. Download the dump on your SkyDrivefile.
