I figure there must be some conflict or incompatibility between what Flash is doing and what Windows, and the underlying x86 hardware expects, that cause these crashes, which take as you said a long time to complete, I’ve never timed them, but a minute or longer is standard, I think.

The big problem is that Flash hooks into the browsers, ALL the browsers, and remember what Windows Explorer actually is. So when Flash begins its pre-crash it seizes all the browsers up, which includes Explorer, which kills your ability to do pretty much anything until it unseizes.

i've had the same problem with Flash Player on OpenSUSE 12.3. It's not just a Windows issue. Flash is just a piece of garbage.
