From imbedded youtube players, vimeo etc. Hasn't happened from Netflix. I'm watching on Activity monitor but haven't witnessed a shutdown on activity monitor yet so I'm not sure if it is high CPU usage or high memory usage. I've run the system diagnostic reports and see panic shutdowns, but don't know what they mean or what is causing them. I have also updated my Flash player and haven't experienced a shutdown in the last 15 minutes.
