Odd graphics problem, eventually leads to forced reboot, or even BSOD
I am fairly certain that this is firefox related, or plug in or maybe compatability issue, however I'm getting weird blocky graphics. which occasionlly seem to begin from a flash frame within a page, but I can't say this is 100% the cause. It looks like small multicolored boxes that are in odd patterns. and causes other odd graphics, it gets worse the longer I let it set. One time for the heck of it I rolled the scroll bar up and down about 10 times very quickly and it caused a BSOD. These odd graphics do not ever appear if I don't open Firefox (have been using IE today) but they do not disappear if I see them and then shut down Firefox. Usually I'm forced to reboot the computer because they take over too much of the screen, I can't see anything. It does change though, when I move windows and such, they are not limited to the Firefox window and spread to the empty desktop too.

I think the flash player settings manager in the OS Control Panel doesn't have the hardware acceleration options yet. As of now you may have to right-click on an individual flash video in a web page to enable / disable hardware acceleration.

Hi,
If this occurs while playing flash, please try disabling hardware acceleration for Adobe flash. Right-click on a flash video > Settings and uncheck Enable hardware acceleration.
Thanks for the reply, I'm adding a couple images, the first one is a portion of firefox that showed the odd graphics bug that I was talking about. The second was from the top part of mspaint that I had pasted that pic into, showing how the problem spread to other windows components and was not exclusively limited to firefox, it just seems to start in firefox/flash.

Checked settings for Flash and I couldn't find hardware acceleration. 1st tab on Settings Manager is "Storage" and gives options for saving information on my computer ie. "Allow sites to save information on this computer" 2nd tab is Camera and Mic "Ask me when a site wants to use the camera or microphone" 3rd is Playback "Ask me when a site wants to use peer-assisted networking" 4th (last) is Advanced "Check for updates automatically" a couple other settings but no acceleration.

Thanks I'll give this a try
