Hello, over the past few weeks my Chrome tabs and games have been unstable. In Chrome it usually crashes due to a permissions issue or the browser itself shutting down. For Valorant it often freezes when I load into a map or switch sides. I've tried reinstalling Windows on different SSDs, updated the BIOS, used an older GPU driver, tested another GPU, and adjusted RAM settings. I'm unsure what might be causing the problem anymore—it could be my motherboard or CPU. I have no idea how to fix it. Please let me know if you can help. I've attached my MSInfo file. If you need a memory dump from a Valorant crash, just say the word. Thank you! MSinfo.txt

Considered a straightforward solution—have you attempted switching to another browser? Additionally, if you're a strong Chrome user, consider reinstalling the browser or resetting your settings.

I've restored my Windows several times and Firefox still crashes.

I haven't performed any scans yet. Which software are you currently using for virus checks?

Consider using Memtest86 at https://www.memtest.org/. If that fails, try these tests and fixes at https://duckduckgo.com/?q=my+browsers+ke...t=1&ia=web You'll reach the solution eventually.

I ran the memtest and saw no issues. It seems the problems aren’t linked to my browser since the same time my browser began crashing my games it also starts.

I purchased a fresh motherboard and new RAM, but the problems continue. It might be the CPU or possibly a faulty memory controller, since I’m experiencing both memory and driver issues. I just reinstalled Windows yesterday.

The system functions properly once the CPU is updated.
