What version of Flash are you using?

I had an issue related to flash causing my system to freeze.  I have not 
seen it for ages.

Also, have you updated to the latest BIOS.  My new desktop would freeze 
but once I updated the BIOS, no issues.

I had an issue with my nvidia card on F7 and freezing, even with the nv 
driver.  If I sshd into the computer, I would find xorg using most of 
the process though.  Same at work with an ATI card.

It is fun trying to trace these issues.
