Ok, newest weird wrinkle...

 

Scamming page in Edge... runs fine. Open for hours with no issues.

 

Fine, maybe chrome is the issue?

 

Scamming page in Edge... Chrome open WITHOUT TORN... Runs fine for hours.

 

But...

 

The INSTANT I open Torn in Chrome (https://www.torn.com/index.php not the scamming page)... >>POOF!< BSOD/shutdown.

Like... the windows BSOD??

 

If so, that's a bug much deeper than torn itself, either chrome or windows or something in between. Try reinstall chrome and see if that fixes the issue? I get it's a pain, but a site shouldn't be able to BSOD your computer at all...

 

What stopcode are you getting?

Sorry... BLACK SCREEN... not Blue Screen. So most of the time the only code is after the fact complaining about a "no power button shutdown".

 

And yeah, I get you. I'm a CS nerd (BS in CS, MS in Cyber, A+ Sec+ CISSP... blah blah blah) I've had the machine level courses web dev courses, etc... 

 

I know this machine has got some underlying power issues. Windows SHOULD "sacrifice" Chrome to save itself. But some weird ass shit is going on for it to ONLY happen on torn.com scamming page AND ONLY when Chrome is running (regardless of what browser scamming page is open on).

 

PLENTY of other people complain about how laggy it is so it's not JUST my buggy ass machine.

 

I'm pretty sure it's something with the graphic background and how chrome accesses the video card. Because the crash happens even with no scams going.

 

I am at a loss as to why scamming on Edge + Torn on Chrome (any Torn page) = crash. But I never went deep enough into web design and resource calls and all that. I'm just testing different stuff to see what triggers it.

yeah sounds like the GPU is throwing a fit then, I know my edge does this sometimes at work. 

 

Does ctrl+shift+win+b fix it (temporarily) for you?
