The latest comment as of this writing indicates that removing iStat fixes the problem.<p><quote><p>Great news guys, in my case the problem has been solved completely, just uninstall iStat menus, it seems that this software installed modules in the kernel of OS X, these modules are giving problems after sleep mode.<p>UNINSTALL ALL I HAVE THIS SOFTWARE AND MODULES AND NO LONGER HAVE MORE FREEZING.<p>TRY AND SEE.<p></quote>
I have the Lion installation sitting on my 27 for a week now, I need to wrap up a project before I feel comfortable to backup everything and run it, and in great irony the project involves a ton of video-on-the-browser testing. THANK YOU for linking this on HN, I would never know otherwise.
Apple must not even test their operating systems on their own hardware. That or they released it knowing there was a HUGE bug like this. Either way, pathetic. I used to think their company was so great before they started focusing on iDevice sales and computer build quality dropped through the floor.
Same problem here. Has happened a few times when starting to play video but has also happened a few other times. Seems like something with the video card, hopefully Apple can fix it with a driver update.<p>I don't use iStat.
For me, 10.7.2 (Beta) solved the problem. Does not seem to be related to Flash, as it used to crash randomly with any type of video, in/out the browser, in Safari, or in Chrom's own etc.

VLC on my MBP (SL & Lion) is completely unable to play 720p MKV files. I don't understand why. I've scoured the Internet and Apple support forums. Seeking within VLC will basically halt the computer. Normal playback will slow the computer down to where it stops responding to user interaction after 20-30 minutes.<p>Also, all Flash audio has stopped in Lion now, as of a day or two ago. Just don't upgrade to Lion yet, in my opinion.
