    I bought the new Gigabyte P55w from newegg, and I'm pretty satisfied with it, but I have two really annoying problems:
    1. Yoututbe on Chrome crashes the browser, and I tried reinstalling and downloading flash and deleting all cookies and data but nothing fixes it. Also when chrome crashes the cpu usage goes up to about 25% and the temp goes up to 85c. (on IE everything works fine)
    2. GTA V online always crashes, sometimes as soon as it starts loading, and sometimes in the middle of a mission, and I made sure I have no Windows Updates available, and I'm on the latest Nvidia driver.
    If anyone knows how to solve any of these problems please let me know, or if anyone knows how I should ask for help about this matter.
    Thanks

    I had the same issue with YouTube on my 37. Remove Chrome completely, make sure you reboot, and install Chrome 64bit, disable all extensions, load Youtube, if it works, toggle on each to ensure no issues. Or you can force it to run on your gpu.

    Switching to 64bit didn't help but forcing gpu fixed it
