Hi all. Often when I run full screen flash videos/streams (in Mozilla or Chromium, doesn't matter) my entire system locks up. I can ssh in and the sound is still running, but nothing I do restores functionality. I am forced to power it off, and restart. I'm running xorg 1.9.2-2 and using the i915 driver. I am currently using flashplugin-prerelease 10.2.154.14-1 from AUR, but the regular plugin found in [extra] has the same issue (version 10.1.102.65-1).
Any thoughts on what is causing the freezes? How to fix?
If more information would help let me know; I'm on the way out the door to work and posted this in a hurry.

the next time it happens, post your logs. /var/log/Xorg.0.log would be one of things to look at. Check your CPU usage at that time. See what process or processes are taking most of the CPU cycles and/or memory and other resources.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !
