I don't know if this is related or not but if I open several tabs that 
have videos on them, after I go through a couple tabs, the videos 
disappears.  I have to reload the page to get it to show up again.  It's 
as if it can only load so many then loses its cache or something.

I know these are not the same but could it be that flash is broken 
somehow?  Maybe the video drivers has a issue?   I'm sort of like you, 
looks like yours is a video card or driver issue but not real sure.

BTW, I'm amd64 as well, have a GT-220 nvidia card, 4 core CPU, and it 
did this when I had 4Gbs of ram and after my recent upgrade to 8Gbs.

I'm using x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-260.19.29 for my drivers.  Are we 
using the same drivers but just slightly different problems?
