I have a late 2007 mbp 3,1. Playing flash video *always* crashes my macbook pro, not immediately but after a few flash player clips. It does not crash the browser but the whole system, and I get a gray screen telling me in different languages I need to hold down the power button to turn off and restart my mac. I have spent hours trying to track down why this happened but to no avail. The *only workaround* I know is to use the flash player marked flashplayer10r45_2. I have tried all other versions and even excitedly all beta versions, but this problem remains unresolved. And now Firefox 4 won't even accept this version anymore.

- Is anyone else experiencing this? -- Do you have a workaround? (one to force FF4 to use the old player or to prevent crashes with any player)

I seem to have solve my issue and wrote it up here in a blogpost

Long story short: I use coolbook, and my settings worked for all programs under heavy loads, but not for flash content, I think that switching cpu frequencies went a little too fast and the cpu voltage switching could not keep up, but this is just a guess. I solved it by increasing the voltages for the upper frequencies a bit and now my computer does not crash anymore when playing flash. The flash plugin does crash occasionally, but I consider this normal since I have never seen it crashing on its own without taking down the whole system with it.

I hope this helps (anybody).
