Help With A Windows 10 Issue
I have an HP computer running Windows 10 purchased nearly three weeks ago. The problem that it has is that-regardless of the browser that I'm using (and I've used Firefox, Edge, and Chrome, all with their most recent updates) it randomly crashes the entire computer whenever I try and watch Youtube. Watching videos otherwise isn't troublesome at all and I've tried playing Starcraft II on it with no issues as well.
I already did some research and found that this was a fairly common problem, but none of the solutions I've found are addressing this. I've turned Hardware Acceleration off in both Firefox and Chrome, my video drivers are updated when I checked this, and I don't have Shockwave or Flash installed I think.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Re: Help With A Windows 10 Issue
Do you have any links to the problem being identified? I'd like to give those a quick once over, if you don't mind.

Re: Help With A Windows 10 Issue
Will this help, or are you looking more for links with registry information as well?

(So far) I've downloaded Opera and not had the same trouble, but I've also been limiting my online video watching because I don't want to damage the computer with multiple hard restarts. I also have no trouble playing SC II on the same computer either or personal videos so this very much so seems to be a browser-related issue.

Re: Help With A Windows 10 Issue
No, that was fine. I was just feeling lazy and wanted to see what all was recommended (and I assume you've tried) so as to not retread old ground.
I really don't think it's a browser issue, but just in case, try Vivaldi and see if you still have the same issue. I'd be surprised if that fixed it, frankly, but it's free and worst-case scenario is you wasted a few minutes. Other than that, I'm stumped.
Though now that I think about it, is it only through the youtube website, or is it also embedded videos? And can you play other videos, and just not youtube ones? I''; try to give a couple tests below.
Spoiler: Here's the embedded youtube.
And here is a non-youtube video.
Frankly, I got nothin' at this point, and I'm just digging for more information for someone else who may be able to figure it out.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: Help With A Windows 10 Issue
Quick question: do you have the HTML5 player enabled on Youtube? (https://www.youtube.com/html5). If not it would be trying to use Flash to play movies, and we all know what a heap of steaming garbage *that* is.

OK, that's not the issue, then, I return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Re: Help With A Windows 10 Issue
It took a lot longer for it to crash when it did with other browsers, but it finally crashed with Opera as well and generated an error report. It said:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xfffff80110ac9ff9, 0x0000000000000010, 0xfffff80110ac9ff9, 0x0000000000000002). A dump was saved in: C:\windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 3c6cd582-2ae7-41c0-b3c9-ba0dca30e9dd.

Re: Help With A Windows 10 Issue
0x00000050 is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA, which is unfortunately fairly generic. It can be caused by buggy drivers, but you say you've already updated those and aren't using hardware acceleration in the browser. It can *also* be caused by faulty RAM, so what I would try doing next is running the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and see if that returns any issues.

Re: Help With A Windows 10 Issue
I suspect that you have faulty hardware.
