Firefox black-screens my PC

more options

After a few mins of running Firefox on my Threadripper desktop the machine will 'black-screen'. I.e. no bluescreen, just a total machine crash. I'm guessing it's some interaction with the GPU? I've restarted and stayed away from FF and I don't seem to have the same problem.

Hi pdkm2000, It may be a GPU related issue. This is from PCWorld: "Threadripper’s crazy core count has another unintended consequence: AMD says some older games crashed in its tests. This isn’t a problem with Threadripper, AMD notes, but the games themselves, because they just can’t handle the number of CPU cores.

To address this problem, Game Mode essentially tells Windows to recognize only 8 of the 16 CPUs in the system. An updated Ryzen Master Utility lets you switch between Game Mode when it’s needed for older games, and Creator Mode when you want all of your CPU cores and more memory bandwidth."

Check with Firefox's performance settings for some ideas in Firefox.
