Hello!
My computer freezes, but ONLY when streaming videos in a web browser (from websites like YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, etc.). It happens as follows: I can be watching YouTube for perhaps 30 minutes, already having sat through 5 or 6 videos (sometimes this occurs on the first, however), and while I'm watching a video, my pc freez. I've tried letting my computer sit for a while to see if it restores itself, but it never has, so I always need to hard-restart my computer when this happens. I can play videogames normally and nothing happens
I've upgraded my graphics driver to the latest version, and it didn't fix the problem. Also i've installed the latest BIOS and still same thing.
I am certain that my computer is not overheating, like i said, i play a lot with not problems, at solid 60fps, offline and online wich has a considerably more demanding process than watching YouTube videos. The normal temp while not playing is around 43°C
I found and attempted two other solutions I found for similar problems: One suggested that the OP should disable hardware acceleration in Flash, which I did, but that obviously didn't fix the problem since YouTube runs on HTML now. Another solution suggestion that the OP should try different browsers. Browsers I have tried include Chrome, IE, Microsoft Edge, Firefox...
IDK what's causing the pc to freeze, i've go to the realiability tool, and the event viewer but they point to an error that means i forced shutdown the pc (error: 0x8000400000000002)
Since its a freeze I see no log of my machine.
I've changed the mobo, cpu, gpu and psu and still same thing.
The fans of my cooler died so i added a generic ones with almost same voltage
edit: I've done memtest64 and also i've formatted and reisntalled the OS
