Re: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION on Edge
Rumtintin24 I have almost the same setup as you (except the CPU):
ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero
64 GB DDR-6400 (G.Skill with XMP II Profile)
i9-13900K
RTX-4090
The problems started after the 23H2 update. I thought I had a hardware issue because there were other things failing as well. I replaced the motherboard AND the GPU (was using an RTX-3090 previously) because I couldn't install Video Card drivers. Everything else is running relatively smoothly (and was perfect prior to the update), but now I get browser tab crashes with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION in both Edge and Chrome. Interestingly, tabs crash in Firefox while watching video as well. I've tested with my 4090, 3090, and a 2080 Ti I had lying around with no difference. CPU, RAM, and storage drives all test good with no errors. I'm baffled.

- Thank you for that, it's incredibly frustrating. I did a full reset on Edge today - no luck. I have changed the executable name, I've disabled code integrity, CPU affinity, I've done the accessibility thing, none of it has worked. It happens with zero extensions enabled, also.
- There's a possibility it could be CPU or thread related. I saw a couple posts of people saying they fixed it by replacing their CPU. I have a hard time believing the CPU I just installed a couple months ago is the issue, but I have been running a test. I just stream a tik tok live in a tab and wait for it to crash and it reliably does so (in chrome, firefox, and edge). So, I started it again, located the process for the tab, and set the affinity to only use CPU 0.... it's been running awhile now and no crash.
- Interesting - in the past, when certain sites like Reddit had the issue a lot, I'd set affinity for that tab's process to like CPU0-4, then 5-10 if the issue occurred, and so on, but was never able to find the right choice.
Please let me know how that goes!
Rumtintin24 Same here. I've disabled everything, and I've reinstalled Windows (23H2 build straight from MSDN) now 8 times while troubleshooting. I've tried ditching the XMP profile as well and made sure no overclocking was enabled and nada. Edge, Chrome, and Firefox all fail. I've also noticed Call of Duty failing with a "Direct X" error occasionally, but that's completely normal for CoD. However, it could point to potentially being an NVidia driver or DirectX issue.
