Hi, really annoying issue I keep encountering.
Wondering if you can help as I look online and there are no solutions.

-I turned PC on, opened origin and google chrome then it froze.
Screen went to grey, you could still see desktop folders/wallpaper, then the message Microsoft Windows, the application is not responding. The program may respond again if you wait. Nothing I can do so I power off PC using the power button. Turn PC back on and its fine...

-This is like the 4th time its happened in a week. First time last Sunday when I alt+tabbed from playing Battlefield 1. Again on Monday when I turned PC on and opened Chrome

I also receive a *critical* in event Viewer. Its the *Kernel-Power* message.
But thats only because I had to power off PC from power button.

I have ran sfc /scannow, chkdsk /f, DISM check health and its all come back fine


Please help. No idea what to do

Question from CostaP : ""Microsoft Windows, application not responding".Why is this happening? Chrome issue?"







I just updated it but I guess I can reinstall...
Is it related in any way though?
What does the message mean? "Corrupt user account"? as Microsoft tech support say?
