Chrome blasts XP out of the water when I Exit from it

But as of now I'm pretty convinced that my lazy practice of keeping too many tabs open may relieve my problem. That would not apply to Windows 10. As a long time Chrome user, always lots and lots of tabs, never crashed the system on exit. If you have no privacy issues whatsoever, way to go.

Chrome blasts XP out of the water when I Exit from it

I installed some variant of the Chrome browser on my WindowsXP desktop and am able to sign onto the school's website, get my email, view paychecks, ask for time off, info on snow days etc. Very useful. I can't make out what version of Chrome I installed. The problem I'm having is Exiting from this site when I'm done. About 25% of the time XP will disappear in a blue screen with white letters and a reboot takes place. When windos comes up I am notified that Windows encountered a very serious problem and don't I want to send the info to MicroSoft. (I'm sure MS will be thrilled to get any info on XP which they want to disappear anyway.) I've found an Exit to click on in Chrome, not just the big x in the upper right corner, doesn't help. Can't use Taskmaster to close it either, same blowup. Does anyone have any ideas how to safely Exit from Google Chrome without destroying my WinXP session? Disable hardware acceleration, then retest. Browsers have hardware acceleration, for things like compositing and font creation. https://www.lifewire.com/hardware-ac...chrome-4125122 "... chrome://gpu into the address bar " Adobe Flash plugin (PPAPI on Chrome) also has hardware acceleration. Right clicking a video pane, exposes the setting. Paul I installed Process Lasso (which is now giving me boot-up nags to purchase), closed unnecessary Chrome windows and tried Paul's suggestion to disable hardware accelleration. I haven't had a blowup in 3 weeks (but after that statement I'll probably get one). If I was to guess I think Paul's idea was a fix. |
