Firefox usually crashes watching YouTube videos, it either closes or I get BSOD'd?

So this has been bugging me for weeks.

I keep having Firefox crash on me every single day, usually in the morning everything runs smooth and there's no problem, at night if I have a full screen YouTube video with just the Reddit homepage in another tab, it crashes constantly, sometimes I can't get further than 5 minutes watching without it crashing.

It's worth noting I'm having constant 'display driver has crashed' errors as well when gaming but for the most part I THINK they're unrelated to why Firefox is crashing, I'm not 100% certain. Aside from that I haven't had any slowness or bugs, but I have had the odd graphical glitch in my browser where it comes up in black blocks but it doesn't happen often.

I've refreshed my browser and the whole delete-reinstall phase, no dice. Even tried disabling all my addons, nothing.

Happy to provide any further help if I can.

This is not a cure, but should let the web page load without crashing.

Flash block {web link} Never be annoyed by a Flash animation again! Blocks Flash so it won't get in your way, but if you want to see it, just click on it


In the address bar, type about:crashes<enter>. Note: If any reports do not have BP in front of the numbers/letters, click it to submit them.

The crash report is several pages of data. We need the report numbers to see the whole report.

Using your mouse, mark the most resent 7 - 10 crash reports, and copy them. Now go to the reply box below and paste them in.

I've tried the extension but it doesn't seem to make a difference, I've updated flash to the latest version and everything, I'm really not sure why it's crashing.

Just checked and I've got 74 crash logs dating all the way back to December 5th, That's a whole lot more than I was expecting.

The latest ten reports are these; bp-7c3f7ae5-0668-4ace-952d-e4ed22160115 15/01/2016 01:34 bp-d2b3fcaa-0d2d-42f2-8011-a3f682160115 15/01/2016 01:25 bp-32322c8f-9b10-41c6-a087-a893c2160115 15/01/2016 01:23 bp-a8c8a551-16ce-4f84-ad71-b47ab2160115 15/01/2016 00:27 bp-15938d2a-e100-4e87-8d7e-1d7512160114 14/01/2016 23:59 bp-cf9bc325-de0c-41c4-9ac2-5721d2160114 14/01/2016 23:57 bp-fae5a25a-d4c7-43c6-8b31-173b72160114 14/01/2016 23:48 bp-8d40c59f-6645-48c2-92cf-719ae2160114 14/01/2016 23:48 bp-83e9574f-7b20-40ec-9dc5-51f1c2160114 14/01/2016 22:31 bp-aa1be76d-ebed-4a4c-aca3-5e52e2160114 14/01/2016 21:38

I'm not sure If I was meant to click on these which gives up a bit more information, Happy to help where I can.

Will do, I'm letting sfc /scannow run through now - After about 5 minutes it stopped on 36% and says "Windows Resource Protection could not preform the requested action" which is quite annoying, there's definitely some type of problem here.

As far as I can see I've got the latest drivers clean installed for my GPU (361.43), I'm suspecting what's causing these crashes are what's causing my display driver crashes on occasion, some sort of faulty driver perhaps?

It's ran through a lot better now, I must of had some sort of background program like Steam up, apologies.

It's managed to come back saying it's found corrupt files but it's unable to fix 'some' of them, but details are included at C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log, I'll have a look for that now.

Back again, I have a strong feeling what ever's causing the nvidia driver to crash here, is also what's crashing games when I do try to play something, I did a complete driver wipe of anything nvidia then re-installed everything, I can't say for certain if Firefox is crashing like it was but games are, so that's a issue.

I've been talking to a few people on a few different tech support forums for some help, If I can get this sorted hopefully that kills 2 birds with one stone.
