I have a partition for ubuntu (didn't recieve win7 until 1 week after i had my comp).... but I use it for storage of quick access files... (SSD rocks).

Right you were. I was able to get everything set up and confirmed. I'm going to try one more time - if it crashes this time I'm going to make my own thread, though at that point I'll probably assume it has something to do with that damn, dirty Flash environment

Cool, hope it works for you. Let us know.

It.... did not.

Wargh!

Did find another guy on the forums with the exact same problem, though, I'm going to keep his topic bumped until I get some answers.

Just some diagnosing questions... What kind of flash are you running? Is your computer 32 bit or 64 bit? What's your video card, and what driver are you using for it?

Non-free Adobe flash, 32 bit, and it's a Mobility X1400 but I'm not sure how to check what driver I'm using (I think it's thhe standard non-proprietary one, though)

And your youtube vids crash your computer? What happens? Does your browser freeze? Does anything else crash with the browser? etc etc.

It causes my wireless to disconnect, and it doesn't reconnect until I switch the card off and then back on. This isn't just a Youtube problem thoug, it seems to be Flash in general that does this - though higher res flash videos seem to do it faster, for some reason.

I initially assumed it was my wireless card. Now I'm running a Windows driver for my wireless card through ndiswrapper and have cofirmed it's working correctly. Now I'm worried that it's something more... bothersome, like Flash itself.

Very nice i have never gone back to windows since karmic, and this one is better, only problem i had was that some java based app need tweking but thats it.

Wow that's really interesting... What if say... instead of loading a flash video, you're downloading a file? Sometimes if you're using a lot of bandwidth ISP's will cut you off briefly. This happens to me sometimes when I torrent, and i have to disconnect and reconnect. Though it sounds like you get cut off after a few seconds, whereas for me it's on the order of 5-10 minutes.
