Do I understand you correctly that these problems were not existent on the system before the new graphic card?
Yes, those problems were *not* existent with the old, weeker onboard graphic. But the quality is better with the newone, as long as it doesn't crash ;-) .
And I assume that you mean flash streams when speaking of TV streams (e.g. wilmaa.com).
Yes. It happens with all flash streaming content like (you can't access from outside Germany!!! unless you use a German proxy)
http://www.zdf.de/ZDFmediathek/beitrag/live/1822600/Das-ZDF-im-Livestream?bc=lve;lv0&flash=offIn an old system I had similar problems caused by flash streams. The CPU was on 100% usage the whole time, fortunately I didn't have any kernel panics or hard reboots. I solved this either by using gnash or by reinstalling flashplugin-nonfree (Adobe).
I'give it (reinstall) a try.
Wait, one more question: You speak about hw acceleration. AFAIK the adobe plugin doesn't support it. But well, please provide more information about what streams you are talking about.
I disabled hw-acceleration in flashplugin.
As for the streams, I am trying now thisone. It is long enough to trigger the bug or whatever:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz5eeA_BxrQI'll report whether on not it *successfully* crashed the system.
EDIT: it didn't crash until now. But I have reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree. I'll see whether it make any difference on other streams which used to crash.
But as the CPU usage was quite continuously at 100% (and it "drops" to 99.x sometimes), it didn't make me feel comfy. Having such CPU usage can't be a solution even if the system does noch crash.
EDIT2:
I now "successfully" crashed the system with a youtube flash stream. With youtube you can adjust the quality. With the lowest, I only have about 60-70% CPU workload, on the second highest (420p) it now did run quite an hour, but all the time @ 100%.
So this clearly is flash related. Unfortunatly not all streaming services allow for adjusting quality. And the workload *is* insame.
I will try the nvidia legacy 304 driver to see whether or not the devoloppment did go versus better or worse.
