YA THINK?
That's the second time you've now crashed and taken my VIDEO CARD with you.
That's 55 inches of NO SIGNAL fail right in my face.
Forcing me to reboot to a black screen, losing all my unsaved work.
This last time I was in the middle of a broken build.
I got locked into google back when they weren't crappy, and i used their account for everything so now I'm stuck with their browser pretty much.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I'd look at your graphics card / drivers first, rather than Chrome - it's pretty solid for me, I can't even remember the last time it did crash.

My drivers are up to date. This same thing happened over two different driver revisions.

Still probably a driver problem.
Do you have an nVidia card?
Anyway, try to disable hardware acceleration for Chrome. (In advanced setting iirc.)

Yeah, the first time i thought it was a fluke. This time i'm considering disabling acceleration.
I have an ancient ATI card. That might be part of the problem. I don't really care about video. The only reason I don't use an onboard device is the lack of outputs.

Interesting.
Some googling later. According to nVidia this is indeed a chrome problem. Solution is the same though.
|

Solution = Don't use chrome

Well, blaming each other is an ancient sport.

Without knowing any of the details, I'd still flip it around and say it's an Nvidia problem: An application should not be able to take down a driver, no matter how badly it's written (the app, that is...not the driver).
And I'm the last person ever who would try to defend Google's position.

Yes, but the word is "According to", and since she has an ATI-card I'm willing to give some doubt.
|

ATI...as much as I may have sworn by them in the past...never more, no matter how much they might have improved. When it comes to ATI, I'm the Linux user still frothing at the mouth because of what Microsoft may have done decades ago.

GPU is a mysterious place. All sorts of black magick involved with DMA access.

To be clear, I wasn't accessing the GPU in my code. That was all chrome. My code was just some build tools I'm making

Yes, we know you aren't accessing the GPU in your code. Other operating system services such as Windows Defender are now using the GPU.

That's interesting.
Is that using as in keeping track of what's happening on the GPU, or actually using it for running stuff on it?
|

Hi,
Windows Defender utilizes the GPU for scanning and some real-time security tasks. I don't think it's fully documented anywhere but you should be able to find some third-pary commentary on the subject. It was implemented over a year ago.
Older hardware may have some overheating problems.

Could you do a RDP connection to your machine to try to shut it down?
I think you could do it even from your cell phone...
|
|
|
|

If I had known in advance i could have set something up

If you use a RDP to shut your computer down remotely you need to use a command line instruction to do it... I still don't understand why they do this, but...

Got rid of Chrome; too many background threads; even when you weren't using it.

i like when they freeze and you have to kill like 12 chrome processes in task manager before the browser will even start.

The expanse: the whole of Season 4 is out. I feel a binge coming on, but I should spread them out, shouldn't I?
Oooh the choices ... watch em all and to heck with everything else, or watch one at a time ... Nooooo....

YoI only have time to watch one episode a day as you’re on here for the other 23 hours

If there's a break in that pattern, we'll know exactly why.

You cannot have two build actions associated with a single file in the IDE.
Even trying to link to a file under a different folder to make a virtual copy of it in the project does not do it - it should but VS won't let you. If I was still on the VS team I would have raised that as a bug.
