I have had constant crashes with Arduino, Discord, and some browsers for months I underclocked my CPU, RAM, GPU and it didn't help even reinstalling windows didn't help. today while trying to find something on Arduino crashing to a white screen I found someone mention that the new Arduino IDE is built on chromium, and this started ringing some bells because Discord is crashing and it is also based on chromium, so I started looking for chromium crashing on windows with AMD and found that Multiplane overlays have been a problem on windows for Nvidia in the past and now recently AMD and it can be fixed with a registry patch from Nvidia.

this is still an issue as it persists with fresh installs and driver updates. if you having discord and browsers crashing then you might need to do the same.

In a way its like turning off hardware acceleration in webbrowsers, which Ive been doing since Internet Explorer on W98, cpus have more than enough capability to run media functions without requiring the gpu being tasked

Speak for yourself, not all of them do. Even when they do, power draw and heat created might make CPU decoding quite unattractive.
