Hello and welcome here.

Does this happen righ from the beginning after installation, or did the system run OK until recently.
When this started to happen only recently, I assume this could be hardware.

thx for reply

but a blank screen happen if im access youtube from mozilla. ahahaha. sometimes >.<

i think a problem 50:50 . hardware or OS have issue ( i was a reinstall opensuse and change version to below like 12.1, 12.2 or 12,3 rotfl! )

Well, I’d say this would point to a graphics related problem (hardware or driver).

I suppose you use the flash version of youtube?
Then try to disable hardware acceleration (right-click on a video and choose “Settings”), maybe this helps?

Also it would be interesting to know what gfx chip and driver you have.
If it’s intel, this might help:

It it’s ATI/AMD or nvidia, installing a proprietary driver might help.

And if it’s a hybrid system (intel plus AMD or nvidia), then see for intel above… :wink:
