Facebook "Error code: Out of Memory" Error in Edge and Chrome

Question

I have been encountering this error consistently, only while using Facebook. It seems to depend on how many videos are loading while scrolling. The same issue appears on Edge and Chrome. I have also tried FireFox and it locks up the tab instead of throwing an error, but essentially the same problem. The issue seems to have started a couple months ago and has persisted through all updates. I have checked to make sure drivers are up to date, tried several browsers, tried disabling hardware acceleration, etc. From research it seems many people are experiencing this issue and there has been no resolution since early 2022.

I'm on a new MSI Stealth GS66 with 12th gen Intel i7 with 32gb or RAM, Iris Xe iGPU, RTX3080Ti dGPU, etc. Pretty top of the line system that should have no issue surfing facebook.

Here is the error:

I really hope we see a solution to this soon!

Thanks

Answer 1

The browser task manager looks like this after the FB crash:

The FB tab changes to the "Prerender Tab"

Answer 2

Here you go. Note that memory usage is much much higher before the crash. Usually anywhere between 2-4gb.

Answer 3

Here's a particularly high ram usage scenario but actually no error yet.

Answer 4

And it crashed shortly after... here's how it looks right after the crash/error.

Answer 5

Here you go. As you can see, plenty go ram available.
