Nvidia driver with random crashes (when using Chrome with Flash)

I still have system freezes with Flash in Chrome :s even with ppapi disabled
 
Jup, sadly it keeps crashing.

Even safari crashes sometimes using flash under Mavericks :(
 
My whole machine locked up twice last night and both seemed to involve flash.

#1 was watching a video full screen in Firefox. 16:21 in and freeze.

#2 was clicking on a song preview in the Google Play store using Chrome.

I don't use an NVidia graphics card, but I used to (so I guess there is some driver bits hanging around).

I wonder witch motherboard you use?
I'm not sure it's the nvidia drivers?
I really want this sorted out :)
 
I have a Gigabyte H87-HD3 motherboard.

PART SOLUTION:
I had a external HDD attached via USB. Since I removed this the crashes got much less, but still occur when I use Flash sometimes (e.g. streaming a movie).
 
[SUP]On my P35-DS4 + GT640, Crashes occurs for me as well when playing flash video (whatever browser I use). Read somewhere that it could be because of my sound ( I have patched DSDT and patched HDA since long time) so I investigate in this way with no success.
So I tried to modify my SMBIOS.plist ( macpro 3.1 insted of iMac 9,1) and bingo, no crash anymore.

I also found instability with the atheros driver
ALXEthernet.kext 1.0.2

so i switched to
AtherosL1cEthernet.kext instead, no freeze anymore


At the moment I am also installing
http://www.nvidia.com/content/Driver...s&type=GeForce

Hope all ok after a year of random freeze
Still, when i did webdev or office... no probs
