Hello, I'm trying to figure out why my computer locks up and becomes unresponsive whenever viewing Pandora.com, or other flash applications. It doesn't crash, it just plays jarringly, sort of in bursts. I have tried using firefox 3, firefox 2, Opera, and epiphany and all create the same problem. I have tried the non-free flash player versions 9.124, and the 10-beta, with the same results.
I have a 3.2 GHz AMD, 2 GB ram, so it's not a problem of my computer simply being "too slow." The internet connection is wireless, but it is fast enough for Pandora to stream seamlessly when booted into Windows, or on other machines on the same wireless AP.
I've also tried disabling visual effects, etc., to try to reduce the load on the CPU but the result is always the same when viewing flash apps.
Running Hardy 8.04.
Please help!
