Microsoft Edge Error Code: Out of Memory fixes?

Question

Hi,

I am getting the Error code: Out of Memory issue occurring on Edge almost daily, it can happen at various points during the day, normally I have at max 3-5 tabs open on edge normally but no more than 10 tabs open at a maximum and sometimes I may have a game playing on my other monitor. This occurs both when I have games running and when they are closed.

Sometimes this results in my games crashing to desktop or the GPU drivers/task manager crashes and I get a black screen and it looks like it when you boot into safe mode and the GPU drivers have been reset and I cannot use my other monitors during this process, restarting usually fixes this for a period of time.

I do have three extensions enabled, they are AdBlock Plus, and two twitch extensions: Better TTV & FrankerFaceZ

I have tried reinstalling edge, clearing browsing data, cookies. I also have tried this with chrome, and it does the same thing. It is really frustrating.

My PC Specs are.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

RAM: 64GB 3600 MHz Corsair DDR4

GPU: Gigabyte Vision 3030 and the current driver is 551.23.

My current windows version is 23H2 and is up to date.                                              

My Microsoft edge version is Version 121.0.2277.98 (Official build) (64-bit)

Hi Shawn,

Hardware Acceleration was already disabled and had been for a while.

Hi, I don't know if this will help but the security of the browser is causing this issue with the new update...
To fix this issue, Go to "Settings>Privacy, search and services," scroll down to the "Security" section and then turn off "Enhance your security on the web." setting. This is what helped me, hope it helps you too... Cheers!

Also if you cannot get into settings because initially I couldn't, I use this link to get back into Edge.

Dear Michael Thurley

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

Regarding your question, we suggest you to open edge - three dots on the top right corner - Settings - System & Performance - Use Hardware Acceleration - Turn off this feature.

This stops your graphics card from being utilized by EDGE browsers and avoids the unusual black screen problem.

Meanwhile, you can refer to the following website to download other EDGE parallel test version. They do not affect your current EDGE functionality, but can be used independently.

Hope the above information can help you.
