Browsers Crashing

[Disenchantment]

So this is mostly at you LionOrphenoc .

I recently did a fresh clean of windows 10 on my pc. I turned to the dark side. I been updating my browsers, Chrome was no problem at all since it didnt really need anything. Firefox was fine too.... Until I updated Adobe Flash Player for Firefox.

Since I updated that, now ALL browsers randomly crashed. I did reinstalls, nothing, I did hardware tests, nothing, I did Memtest86, no errors. I even get random BSOD's now pfn_list_corrupt but that seems to have stopped, dunno yet fully.

Any idea?

My bet would be whilst flash was installing and it cocked something up.

I'd start by following the instructions here and report back if it helps as in the least it sounds like your page file is corrupted (the thing that tells your comp where things are on your hdd/ssd).

The first thing you'll want to do is pop chkdisk into our start menu and run chkdsk.exe this will restart you computer and check your system for corrupted sectors and repair them. Simple stuff but I'd rather do the basics first.

If that fails we're probably looking at needing to do a system restore or a reinstall of windows 10 as something go eaten but that's more worst case scenario.

chkdsk said nothing was wrong, memtest86 said nothing wrong, i also tried a S.M.A.R.T program to check further, all came back 100% healthy.

My chrome crashes now from just updating the Firefox stuff, thats weird :/

As I was typing this with the following tabs opened, the one twitch stream tab crashed.

Facebook
Twitter
Twitch Stream 1 (crashed)
Twitch Stream 2 (didnt crash)
Lzuruha Website

It's always

"Aw, Snap!

Something went wrong while displaying this webpage."

But will load back up when I refresh :/

Its super annoying because it happens frequently

Edit************

Microsoft Edge has 0 Crashing issues. Just Firefox / Chrome

On the upside we know your disks are healthy.

Back up your bookmarks (either to firefox/chromes online services or a file on your computer)

Download and install this, it's called Revo uninstaller and will basically remove every trace of an installed program from a computer, with your bookmarks backed up use it first uninstall flash, and then everything else it detects related to it (hopefully including a settings file that's causing this issue), then reinstall flash. Hopefully this fixes the issue, however if not, do the same things for firefox and chrome as it could be something in them got got messed up.

In strange events, I went to bed and left my chrome and edge on, not firefox, no tab crashed while i was asleep.

However as I started using my tabs, it started crashing.

Edit 1*****************************

I just ran the program on adobe flash and havent done anything yet besides open Chrome and some Firefox stuff. Chrome automatically works on twitch without Flash it seems.

Havent gone forward yet with Firefox besides reddit browsing.

Edit 2*****************************

Firefox crashed on Youtube, but other than that solid. Chrome has been completely solid since the removal thus far on FB/Twitter/Twitch

Edit 3*****************************

Edge crashes without Flash installed on FB. Get:
This page is having a problem loading

We tried to load this page for you a few times, but there is still a problem with this site. We know you have better things to do than to watch this page reload over and over again so try coming back to this page later.

After about an hour, chrome crashed on twitch.tv only one tab in which i had 1xFB 1xTwitter 2xTwitch 1xLzH Site tabs open.

Firefox crashes like mad on Curse.com

(Again don't have flash installed yet after using that program)

[LionOrphenoc]

Then at this point pretty much all I can suggest is using a system restore point from before you installed flash.

There's a quick guide on how to do it on this page.

Ill try a recover/reset :/ but that doesnt solve the issue. I've had this issue with fresh installs over and over, 8.1 and 10...

Determined it was a defective RAM stick.
