Hi all
I haven't been around the forum for a long time, but the new set up intrigued my :-), and it's good to see some of the old characters still around
So to the issue - I upgraded my desk top to Windows 10 ages ago, and everything works fine; except that when I go on to Facebook (OK get the wisecracks out of the way :-)) The computer almost immediately hangs, and forces a restart with a WHEA error. No other web sites do it, and it's only on FB.
Any ideas what I can do to solve it?

Are you accessing Facebook in a browser (if so, have you tried a different browser) or using the Facebook App from the windows store?
If using the 'App', have you tried uninstalling and re-installing?
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Hi
I've tried Chrome and IExplorer. I haven't tried the APP. I hadn't thought about it to be honest, but even if that works, why would Facebook be the only web site (as far as I can tell) that causes my computer to crash?

Because Facebook is [-Censored-].

But not the Edge browser that comes with Windows 10? That's an odd combo.

The Apps OK, and doesn't crash, but it doesn't include everything, such as the games apps that I like. I still struggle to understand though, why everything else is OK. Actually, thinking about it, I have to play videos through the old media player, because the new app crashes the system as well, so maybe there's a link
