Crash report: ID: cb4a22a3-6789-4ddf-a237-692a40200126 I turned off hardware acceleration, but this did not prevent crashes. I restarted my compute in Safe Mode and ran it for 1 day with NO crashes. I restarted again normally, refreshed Firefox, and used Firefox in Safe Mode. Crashes started again.

Do you set a fixed size for the Windows page file or do you let Windows manage the page file ?

If you use a fixed size for the page file then let Windows manage the page file automatically.

Took a while to find flash drive and figure out memtest. I had to install and run v 4.3.7 (BIOS version). I let it run for 10 minutes. No errors were found. I also ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics. Again, no errors.

Regarding the comment re: Windows page file. This is something I know nothing about.

more options

I found the Paging setting. Unbeknownst to me it was not set to be managed automatically by Windows. I checked that box and will let you know if that solved the crash problem.

more options

Still crashing with Windows managing the page file size. Note that crashes are not happening if I log on to my computer in Safe Mode.
