YOUTUBE VIDEOS?

Post by Roger Shackelton »

When I play Youtube Videos my computer automatically re-boots itself. What's wrong?

Last time I was on "YouTube" I got a virus alert. That was the absolute last time I'll ever go there.

I trust YouTube.com more than I trust virus alerts. A virus on YouTube would make the evening news.

The YouTube videos are Flash objects. Roger, do you have problems playing other Flash objects? For example, can you watch the cartoon on http://vgogol.freeshell.org ?

What browser are you using?

Ignoring virus alerts is an invitation to potentially serious consequences.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Dave Potter on 13 September 2006 at 06:33 AM.]</p></FONT>

Roger you need to upgrade your memory when that happens in most cases that what causes to reboot. and sometimes just sometimes now a power supply starting to fail will cause it. but power supply failure is again rare but does happen. the computer shuts down to keep other problems from happening its just doing its job. again first thing Id say was memory
