Hi All

Our macbook screen died so we hooked up an external monitor.
At the same time we also reformatted, added memory, and an external hard drive.

Since then, almost any time we stream online video (hulu, youtube, etc) we get either beach ball of death, or the grey "you need to restart your computer immediately box."

this does not happen when watching downloaded movies, dvds, or itunes downloads and rentals.

Error report below. i probably have 100 more if they would help.

tried disk repair, no luck.

any input at all would be much appreciated.. we are trying to save and don't want to drop the cash on a new setup.

me too

I have a similar Issue. When I've not go it connected to the the outlet it automatically shuts off when I'm Watching Online Videos, Skype, or playing Zynga games. When I take it to class for note taking in Pages it doesn't do this. I would assume it's the battery but that proves it's not. I've Calibrated the battery several times which hasn't helped. I don't have an Apple Store in my area. Does anyone have any theories or suggestions? I will probably end up replacing the Battery hoping that Helps.
 
Have you tried it with different memory? Also do you have a temperature monitoring application such as istat? Flash based video makes macs run very hot.
