Hey Gang,

So basically adobe flash updated to version 10.1 on friday/saturday i think it was, go to watch a you tube vid on Sunday and Blue Screen then restart! Arrrggh!

googled the issue and it appears it has happened to others, might be an issue with the latest release and running catylyst 10.3

Sooo i uninstall flash player 10.1 using adobes uninstall tool, then try to install a previous version of flash, but each time i try to install it, it defaults to 10.1 of flash again and surely enough it crashes.

By any chance do any of you guys have an older version of adobe flash exe? or is there something i am not doing right!

I finally 2 months ago got broadband, so one of my simple pleasures thus far has been you tube....... not any more and i cant be bothered waiting for all that time of a new version of flash to come out again!

hehe, this is why i never update drivers/versions in the first 2 months unless i need a problem fixed :P

Uninstall flash, and just google for an older version.

Either that or uninstall CCC and backdate that to 10.2

I'm still on 9.1 :blink:

yeah i think i might have to go back on the catalyst driver, have googled heaps of sites, the exe name even says an older version of flash but when it installs it defaults to 10.1 every time??

Yeah will go back on catalyst. I remember though there was a huge performance increase in the newest version of catalyst drivers, full article was on Toms Hardware, which is why i didnt want to go back on it.

Will have to bite the bullet Nismoid unless if anyone else has any options?

OK techie guys need ya help!

So just went from catalysrt 10.3 where i would get the BSOD whenever watching a flash video or you tube clip! it would restart after BSOD.

So i have now upgraded to catalsyt 10.6......... and .... still BSOD!

I have removed then reinstalled flash 10.1 with still no luck.

BUT i have also tried hunting down older versions of 10.1 with no luck, i DO find an older version and it says to "Click here to download flashplayer 9" but when i do it still defaults to re downloading 10.1 and surely enough installs as 10.1!

Anybody have any other ideas? I have googled and it seems a few others have had problems with no success, another answer was when the flash vid comes up to right click on the flash vid and select "disable hardware accelerator" sounds like a great idea but too bad my PC crashes before i can even click on a vid!

HEEEELP!!

Reason for the crashing is Adobe using the GPU for processing as opposed to the CPU. CUDA technology for nVidia and something equivelent for the ATI.

Try getting the latest Catalyst drivers and Adobe Flash.

The issue could also be to do with the browser. Just as a test can you try both internet explorer and firefox. I've personally experienced Firefox going funny after some plugin updates (not saying this never happens to internet explorer).

Could be as simple as re-installing the browsers.

Also ensure your Java is at the latest version - java is known to cause crashes too - but rarely as spectacular as a BSOD :)

Have updated to latest flash and latest catalyst, eveything has been updated. uninstalled then updated again.

What i did find interesting though is, i used Google chrome that utilises HTML 5 and not flash, went to you tube and guess what..... BSOD!! Arrrgh! dont know what the hell is happening but all i know is that i might have to complete a full wipe of the HDD's and start again :-(

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
