Vivaldi Rebooted my PC
-
This reboot only happens with Vivaldi on, I have used the comp without Vivaldi for months having no sudden reboots.
-
@emaentie - Which points to a driver problem. Have you tried with hardware acceleration disabled?
-
This just happened to me again.
I reported a new bug on December 6th. This happens when watching a video.
(VB-35397) While Watching Video my PC Rebooted
I was just watching this video, then stopped and used the back gesture to return to the search index page
My PC rebooted. Every time this happens it is a significant hassle as I have Vivaldi and Opera installed on a VeraCrypt virtual drive. The file gets corrupted when this happens as files are not closed properly. I have to create a new virtual file, and copy the data from the corrupted drive to the new one.

This is the key point. If it is a video driver problem, and I am not saying that it's not, why does Vivaldi trigger it and not other software programs or other browsers?

@gwen-dragon I have replied to the Bug Report email with the crash dump attached.
121517-31093-01.dmp
I see no BSOD - the PC just reboots without warning.
-
I have disabled automatic restart on BSOD. It is set to "Kernel Memory Dump."
-
@pesala maybe you could also take a look into your Windows event log (eventvwr.msc). I'd guess you'll find more than one similar message in the "system" category...
-
I was already using the latest available Graphics driver.
-
funny enough i am having same issue tough initially was an issue with windows itself .
Already tested memory and hard drives and drivers so maybe its vivaldi has its on wen this happens -
When the PC shuts down and restarts, the reason may be overheating. This can occur when the ventilation slits are clogged by dust.
See if this is the case and see if a cleaning with a soft brush and compressed air (it is in spray cans in computer stores) solves the problem. -
@catweazle My PC case is reasonably clean. The most recent episode happened not long after starting up, so was unlikely to have been caused by over-heating. Since this only happens when using Vivaldi, perhaps the devs should look at what is overloading the CPU so much?

Well I do not notice at all an excessive use of the CPU on my PC, which with Vivaldi does not exceed 25% with a reasonable amount of open tabs.

Temperature is excluded here .
Encoding video and gaming wont reboot my pc something is weird with vivaldi at the moment -
As @Morg42 has suggested, have any of those experiencing the problem ( @Pesala, @emaentie, @Scorpiopt115) looked at their Windows event viewer logs for the time-frame surrounding these reboots regarding any error or warning listings... or even peculiar ordinary entries just prior to the reboot?

Of course to be able to address such a bug, one must first be able to reproduce it. I don't know for sure about any of the other testers or developers, but I do know that I have Vivaldi Stable and Vivaldi Snapshot installed on nine (windows 7 or 10) machines and two operating systems (windows and linux Mint). Five of these machines are 32-bit systems, and four are 64-bit. The machines range in age from about 14 years old to about 3 years old, have processors as old as P4 and as new as A10, RAM ranging from 2GB to 16GB, and various graphics card from onboard Intel 965 Express mobile or NVidia GeForce 5200 to ASUS EAH5450. I can't make Vivaldi reboot any of these machines, no matter what I do. I can get some pretty high CPU usage on a couple of them, but that's all. Certainly this is not every possible kind of machine or system, but it's a fairly broad sampling.
To my mind, this points to something unique going on, on the user's system. Again, without the ability to reproduce a bug, there is no way to fix it.

I've had my computer reboot on me twice recently while running a browser - but only one of those was Vivaldi. (The other was Opera.) So either it is a Chromium issue (common to all Chromium-based browsers, including Chrome itself) or it was just coincidence. No. I don't know how to reproduce it either.

searched on the event log nothing there besides the unexpected reboot

In the Windows > System log, at the time of shutdown/reboot, there should be a series of event messages including something like "The kernel power manager has initiated a shutdown transition. Shutdown Reason: Kernel API". That message should be preceeded by perhaps 8 or more related events that might give some clue as to what triggered the reboot. The event messages immediately following the kernel power management shutdown/reboot notice may also give some clue(s) regarding things being restarted and if any kind of boot repair was initiated.
Also, be sure to check the Application log as well for anything around/just-preceeding the reboot time.

Also present unexpected PC reboot, my config of the A10-7700K, 8 GB, no GPU. I was not able to understand what kind of trouble. Center Windows error just indicates a bad shutdown. A bug appeared in the beginning of autumn, I thought that a problem in gland or a power outage, but then came across a topic in the forum. And now not so sure of their guesses. But to believe that the browser can force the computer to restart also do not want to believe.
And it happened as the insider builds of Windows and stable 1709, to remember something like that on 1703 can't. -
