    Hi guys I have just built a new computer for my self as a Christmas present from anyone I well pleased with it exept one problem. It doesn't happen to me when I'm gaming. But when the mrs is using it to play her Facebook games every now and then not all the time the computer will seem to crash and I get a white screen. When this is up I can't do anything but restart the machine. I have a intel i5 3570k a gigabyte z77ds3h mono 8gb corsair dominator ram a amd afox 7850 a corsair gas 700psu and a Samsung 128gb sad with a 3tb hdd aswell all running on windows 8.

    Make sure you have the latest version of flash, and the latest amd drivers.

    Im not sure whats going on but this is a good place to start.

    Is there anything in the event viewer that might give a description of what's breaking? Not likely to be much help as these things often happen before any errors can be logged, but it's worth a look.

    I'm not sure if you installed the drivers from the MB cd or went to the Manufactures website, but if you did install the CD drivers I would start from there. Also as shirty mentioned update all adobe products and your web browser. Not to mention the Chipset drivers and the rest of the lot.

    Just checked all the drivers they were all fully up to date aswell as the adobe products. The event viewer just says the system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first

    What browser are you using? Try using a different one and see if that makes a difference (unlikey, but worth a shot).

    facebook games are well known for crashing the browser, usually because they are coded badly for flash player

    It's not the browser either. I no they are badly coded but it works fine on my laptop which is no where near as powerful as my pc

    the wife and I have almost identical laptops, she gets loads of crashes on facebook games.
    I say almost identical, they were bought as identical laptops, I've altered mine, by adding an extra 4GB ram changing the HD, swapped dvd writer for Blu-ray writer, and switch the video card from an NVidia gt240m to a radeon mobility hd4670.

    I can play the same games with no crashes

    Is it an apple. J/K yeah sounds like RAM or browser. Chrome handles each tab as a different process so if it crashes every instance of chrome then it's ram if not it's the browser
