I had few system freezes recently. I am not sure what is the cause of it, but the last one happened when I tried to open image on this website: http://www.wykop.pl/wpis/10937070/pojechalem-dzis-zobaczyc-co-to-za-dzielnica-dublin/ My whole system stop responding - both screens frozen, but I could still here sounds from kodi. Could not switch to second terminal.


I use the website on windows 7 firefox without issues. However I've got couple of freezes during upload or clicking on the images. Not sure what could cause the system to freeze, but firefox would be the process which took up to 100% of one core previously.

UPDATE: Actually System freeze happened on google street view as well, so it is not website related.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;

Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.

Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.

Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?

Does this also happen if you open the image in a tab (see Tools > Page Info > Media)?

With S/W render just got this: A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue.
