PC Freezing when Alt-tab + YouTube playing
|
Hi,
My PC is freezing when I alt-tab out of PoE and a YouTube video (in Chrome) is playing on one of my other monitors. I can confirm: - It doesn't matter if YouTube is full-screen or not - Neither CPU or GPU are overheating, they are all watercooled are I do keep an eye on temps - Nothing is overclocked, voltage adjusted etc - Of all the games I currently play, this only occurs with PoE (for comparison - Elder Scrolls Online, Guild Wars 2, Rocket League, Grand Theft Auto V, Elite Dangerous) - By "PC is freezing" I mean a complete lock with nothing responding. Sound on the YouTube video continues (but not the video itself which freezes at that point) for about 30 seconds or so and then stops. Only remember is using the power switch to force a power off I have found a workaround of playing PoE in windowed mode. My dxdiag.txt can be found here: https://onedrive.live.com/prev?cid=d3f4dcf8a7a3d86c&id=D3F4DCF8A7A3D86C%212714&ithint=file%2Ctxt&authkey=%21ABzjvN7BB4XyWAA&v=TextFileEditor Thanks! |

Bump... thoughts, anyone?

Final bump before I presume nobody else has this problem and I'm a special snowflake :P

I don't see why you would want PoE in full screen if you are using dual monitors

" Well at the moment I have to play in a window so I lose the strip of the screen where the Windows taskbar is and have the window border and title all around it. Also window'd means SLI doesn't work but that's not been a big issue with POE. More to the point any pop-ups etc just splat all over the POE window as Windows treats it like any other window. So minor annoyances more than anything else but what I want or don't want doesn't really solve the bug :-) |

Yea i have the same problem. Thanks for the tip tho, i now play windowed too and it helps as i can close
poe after it crashes on alttab or while closing the program. I too have been playing youtube while poe on, but cant indentify that it causes this problem. Problem started today, i didnt install or do anything to my computer yesterday so its kinda odd... Well, i keep playing windowed for a while, gl with bug fixes! |

An update for my post:
Windowed poe mode allows me to close poe after it crashes but it freezes my windows. I cant open task manager etc after poe has been closed. Google chrome and mumble work fine, but all the windows stuff is frozen. Using windows 10, been using for many days and this only started today. Other games like csgo work fine. Will be testing... |
