Computer shuts down instantly with some flash sites
Hi, I'm not sure it's flash, there's nothing in the logs, it just shutdowns without warning nor anything... actually, power down is more accurate, as it stops working altogether, no init showing, no umounting disks, not anything.
any ideas on what might be happening?

Check your power supply? Sounds like a hardware problem.

This can be a sign that your cpu is overheating (especially since you say it happens when the cpu is under high load due to flash).

Re: Computer shuts down instantly with some flash sites
looks like I found the problem: I was using the flash-pulse-compability-library thing without running pulse audio, I dunno how it was able to get the computer down, but now I uninstalled it, that no longer happens.
