413073 2005-12-16 00:19:00 Is this a common thing...recently when I have been using Firefox and I don't have any programs open, my Cpu suddenly spikes to a 100% and everything pretty much freezes...

It has already happened a few times today, with the same few sites that I have been browsing today...so I am not sure if it is the website or something with my computer...but I willl be browsing a bunch of other sites today just to see if it only happens with a certain few sites...

If it is a comp thing what do you think the problem is?

I own a AMD 3500+, Ultra-D NF4 (nvidia) motherboard.

Thanks guys.

413074 2005-12-16 00:25:00 It could be something like a trojan/worm running in the background.

I would post a hijackthis log here.

I dont think Firefox is causing the prob.

413075 2005-12-16 00:37:00 This sometimes happens to me when plugins (particuly Flash) runs inside webpages. Is this the case with you?

What versions are you running? 1.5?

Ditto. Heavily-peppered flash websites always cause a steep rise of the CPU graph. Best thing to do is to Adblock it.

Windows 95/NT users should upgrade to Flash Player 7 . 0r61 . Linux and Solaris users should also update to Flash Player 7 . 0r61 .

If you are having problems viewing Flash content, particularly if you have just installed Firefox 1 . 5 or Flash Player 8 . 0, the following may help:

Adblock's OBJ-TABS do not work with Flash Player 8 . 0
This is due to Bug 309044 . To disable OBJ-TABS, you will need to do the following:
Open the Adblock preferences (Tools -> Adblock -> Preferences)

Click on "Adblock Options", and untick "Obj-Tabs"

It is suggested that you upgrade to AdBlock Plus . "

413079 2005-12-16 18:16:00 Yeah, my CPU goes nuts when viewing certain website. It is does seem to be related to the embedded flash. On some sites if I block the flash it resolves it, on others it makes little difference.

Examples are www.tv3.co.nz - this will always wind my CPU up, and I think it is the scrolling headlines which does it on that page.

www.village.co.nz - that started doing it as well the other day, but blocking a particular .swf advert fixed it.

All those links you gave are for improperly displayed flash pages and not for having your CPU wind itself up on certain websites which is what bigmit37 issue is. :)
