    Today i've got the blue screen of death twice just a second or 2 after starting to play a video, one was youtube and the other was a random video player, my drivers are up to date so i'm not really sure what the problem is, although i got a few error messages saying shockwave player has crashed today as well so that might have something to do with it, i'd really appreciate any help :)

    It's hard to diagnose with such vague information, but it's most likely a bad driver. Unsigned/poor quality drivers can wreck havok on an otherwise patched windows machine. Shockwave flash might
    be causing the crash, but it's most likely shockwave is triggering a driver bug, leading to the crash. This can happen if you have missing WLX extentions with respect to the driver/are using the VESA
    driver. Just try to update to a very recent supported driver and see what happens.

    u might have a bad codec - it could be a bug or simply a corrupt file.

    uninstall flash player and then download a new fresh up to date copy of flash as older versions of flash are known to have issues with 64bit windows

    if you can't read the BSOD because it disappears try this

    Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System
    Go to Advanced
    Under the Startup and Recovery section, click Settings...
    Under System Failure un-check "Automatically restart"
