and it's only those two sites that does it. apparently whetever is on those sites is causing video display timeouts.

Hello Polaritypictures;

12/24/08 3:44:07 AM kernel NVChannel(Display): Graphics channel timeout!

This was randomly happing to me as well but I fixed it by plugging the monitor into the other port on the Video Card (the port closest to the case latch).

and it's only those two sites that does it. apparently whetever is on those sites is causing video display timeouts.

Try your monitor on the other port & re-visit these site & see what happens.

Good Luck.
