Occasionally, when watching flash movies or playing flash games, Firefox will crash. I'm not familiar with the difference between hard and soft crashes, but in any case, the window will simply disappear, and I'll receive that now ever-so-familiar message: "We're sorry, but Firefox has encountered a problem and has crashed. Blah de blah de blah". (Not the Windows one, mind you, the Firefox one) This problem carried over from Firefox 2 into Firefox 3, and will even occur in Internet Explorer from time to time.It's been driving me up the wall for months, and it's very inconsistent. A few months ago, I wasn't able to watch the newest Zero Punctuation review all the way through without it crashing. And now, I can watch videos, but games like Pandemic 2 will invariably crash for no reason whatsoever. In fact, the only place I've been to where the crashes can be re-created are the Gamespot forums, wherein loading a page will cause the browser to crash, but only Firefox, not IE. Not a huge loss at any rate, I'm well aware, but I figure that mentioning it may be helpful. Also, I used to receive RAM errors, such as "the address at 0x04AEF85048 (paraphrased, obviously >_>) could not be 'read'", which would cause programs to crash. Strangely enough they've all but vanished now, and I didn't even try anything to fix those. Just figured I'd mention it. Things I have tried:
Edit: Argh, sorry. I forgot to post my specs. Just in case they're relevant, I'll post em anyway: CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 GPU: XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra RAM: 2 GB OS: XP Pro Sound: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic Mobo: Asus P5N-E SLI HD: Western Digital 320 GB, sadly I don't know much else. If anything else might be relevant, I'd be happy to add it. This post has been edited by Weegie: Oct 12 2008, 03:56 PM |
