Computer goes power-off when using flash player

[hvn52]

Hi,

When using Linux (both Fedora 20 and openSuse 13.1), the latest updates installed, with latest flash player, recently my computer either starts rebooting continuously or just goes power-off. This happens between 15 seconds to 1 minute into a video. Earlier I thought it was the computer hardware being at fault, but after thoroughly cleaning it, it still happens and without playing a flash video, the computer just keeps running. List of my hardware (from dmesg): AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+, ATI RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450] video, 2 GB RAM.

Thanks for any suggestion or solution...

It's either graphics drivers or a heat problem (but that would be more the turn-off, but not the rebooting symptom). 

You can disable hardware acceleration in Flash to try and avoid it.
