FIND A TEMPORARY SUN

I'm joking, of course.
I only have 3 vehicles with headlamps though. Apparently nobody thought to bring a torch.

2 minutes in and we lost because the Germans walked right past our defenses and captured HQ without either side ever seeing the other.
Ssshhhh. *hug*

The American Army in WW2 wasn't exactly known for bringing the right tank to do the job.

Okay so Hardware Acceleration on youtube tends to make my computer bluescreen.
Now, suddenly out of LITERALLY NOWHERE flash player will crash without fail, if I fullscreen a video with Hardware Acceleration disabled.
So it's no fullscreen or possible bluescreens.
Brilliant.
Screw you for the nth time, Youtube.

EDIT: AND NOW SUDDENLY IT WORKS FINE AGAIN?!?!

Hardware acceleration gives the software direct access to the bare metal of your GPU, which usually can gracefully return from a crash, unless you have bad drivers. Either your installation of Flash is corrupt or your drivers love giving Windows the hug of death. Oh, and $10 says it suddenly starts crashing again.
Nothing like going out with a sub-0.1 kill ratio and then getting a triple kill.

That's funny because everything everywhere says when you have issues it's usually Hardware Acceleration.
My drivers are fine and I update them semi-frequently.
My guess is that it's Flash being its usual buggy mess of a self on Firefox.

Flash has already gotten to bloat point by now. Plus it's being shoved through NPAPI, which is so ancient it was originally written during the Browser War.

The thing about HA is that those drivers trust almost anything you throw at them, because error-checking can get expensive and you can only code for so many possible inputs. (Did you know you can toss almost anything through those APIs without errors? Half the driver updates you get is for video games so the card can swap out shitty code for stuff that actually complies to standards.) Some quirks, possibly rising from your hardware, your OS, or even the version of FF itself can result in a bad byte that results in a lovely unrecoverable error. The points of suspicion are so numerous here it's not even worth looking into. 

And thing is, I don't think Windows has softrast even as a backup anymore (it made the swap in Vista, right when integrated graphics started becoming the norm, which meant it no longer needed to expect the average workspace to not have a graphics card), so when the card goes, everything dies, because it's trying to render to hardware no longer working, which it can't escape from. The BIOS that reports the error trusts softrast with it's life, so it works through card errors.
Because boredom.
