    Anytime i play flash video in chrome, flash crashes and the pc reboots.

    I tried changing chrome to power saving mode but setting doesn't stick

    Do the leshcat drivers fix this flash problem?

    Try using Microsoft fix it to diagnose and resolve the problem. 1080p flash video was crashing and fix it detected a conflict with real video extensions and resolved the problems. Now I can watch 1080p full HD video in my browser without the system crashing.

    Last resort: Use the IE tab extension in Chrome

    Another solution is this:

    1. Open a youtube video in IE.
    2. Right Click on the Video
    3. Choose "Settings" from the list of options.
    4. In the pop up that opens, uncheck the box that says, "Enable Hardware Acceleration".
