Internet disconnects when loading high-quality flash videos

Try this first, because I also had problems with Flash and this fixed it for me:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree gnash gnash-common libflashsupport mozilla-plugin-gnash nspluginwrapper swfdec-mozilla && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

I've tried your fix, and it produced some improvement--my connection doesn't consistently get cut off, but it does probably half the time. Also, CPU usage is still very high. I do not notice any difference, however, when viewing YouTube HD videos; these are still extremely choppy.

Well HD videos are choppy sometimes on my Core2Duo machine. We have to wait for Adobe to provide better plugins... I can't even watch fullscreen high quality videos on the 64 bit version...

Just an update; I turned off Compiz and tried watching YouTube HD videos, and my connection gets cut off each time.

This probably will not help, but all of my internet connection problems have always been due to my wireless router... Do you get these problems when you are directly plugged in?
