Weird Shit

[Sceny 3,138]

Since yesterday Google Chrome has been freezing up on a few random websites. When this is happening, my CPU heats up to 38-44C. I normally browse at around 25-30C depending on the time of day.

Any ideas?

what's the CPU usage while this is happening?  Is it just Chrome that does it, or all browsers?  Or just webkit based browsers?

I'll have to wait for it to happen again to be able to tell you what the CPU usage is. This is only happening in Chrome, Firefox is working fine. :\

Download anything recently before that?

It could be Chrome being the power hungry thing it is, but I'd check around for weird extensions and viruses.

Yeah, chrome sometimes fucks up with hardware acceleration.

Try:

Show advance settings

Scroll down to the end.

Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.

When this doesn't work try:

GPU compositing on all pages to disable

 Disable accelerated 2D canvas to enable

 Disable accelerated CSS animations to enable

 GPU Accelerated SVG Filters to disable

 Disable hardware-accelerated video decode to enable

 and "relaunch now" at bottom of the window

I sometimes will find random extensions added to chrome that I did not add myself.  Some software will very sneakily add stuff like that, they often cause problems.

Including Chrome. Thanks for the updaters I didn't ask for, constantly disable only to find re-enabled. Thanks for adding stuff to my tray without asking.
