Those driver updates, especially if any were video card, are likely the cure. Drivers cause more BSOD's than anything else does.

And the BSODs are back.
They are not as frequent, but that isn't much solace. And for the first couple days, the computer was working great. Then, sometime when I was working on the computer yesterday or the day before, got several "CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED" codes. Yesterday, I had one "UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION," but other than that, it is always the critical process one. Almost every time it has been when I have been working in Chrome, but there was one time when I was in-game yesterday that it crapped out.
Back to Geek Squad tomorrow in the early afternoon for an appointment.

QUOTE(Acadian @ Feb 26 2020, 05:36 PM) Sorry to hear that, Rader. That's gotta be frustrating as can be! Let's hope the Geeks have better luck with it tomorrow.
Since they had checked hardware last time, they are looking at software this time. I'm suspecting, and the employee that checked it in is positive about it, that the issue is Windows 10. Thus, they are backing up all the data and doing a total wipe so that they can completely reinstall the OS. My appointment is for Saturday late morning, but I got an email that they already finished service. So I'm going to see if I can get in there sometime tomorrow. I can actually pick it up at any time, but at my appointment time is when they can completely go over everything. I may just go early tomorrow in case they aren't busy or someone misses their appointment time.

Not me....so far. This is what it looks like. Some videos have thumbnails, others don't and I have no idea why it happened. Edit: I have the latest Firefox update. This post has been edited by mirocu: Feb 28 2020, 08:13 PM

Ublock Origin is my go to as well. Hmmm....I use a competing blocker, AdBlocker Ultimate. But I use Privacy Possum in conjunction with it. I've always assumed they served different functions. Then again, maybe Ublock Origin is more feature rich than AdBlocker Ultimate? I also use Facebook Container, which is advertised as "Prevent Facebook from tracking you around the web. The Facebook Container extension for Firefox helps you take control and isolate your web activity from Facebook." Not sure how effective it is, since I rarely do anything on Facebook.

Yes, I am a recent convert and I must say I really do like the church of Firefox. Being able to add stuff to the browser is KICKDONKEY! So thanks to Kane for he was the one who persuaded me QUOTE(SubRosa @ Mar 7 2020, 01:42 AM) Not using Facebook also prevents Facebook from tracking you...
