Windows 10: Edge , Chrome and Opera All browsers , keep crashing saying out of memory or process...

Completed 2 fresh installations. Keeps saying out of memory when opening new tabs or browsing. Running 16GB ram, I7 6600K Processor on a Asus Z170 Pro gaming motherboard. Ran the Intel CPU Diagnostics, and memory tests, all have come back clear, even changed motherboard. Have ran the SFC and DSIM scans too, tried 2 fresh installations. At a loss at what it could be... Everything else seems fine, its just web browsers. Any advice ? Thanks in advance.

Chrome & Edge Tab Crashing (Memory Issues)

[this post made in another forum but went completely without response]

I am regular user of Chrome although I also use Edge too

For months, I was seeing Chrome tabs crash, and I did not even have as much as a half dozen open. Edge tabs would also crash when I occasionally used that browser.

I thought it was related to a dying HDD, so I replaced storage with a SSD (first time for this storage type for nearly 8-year old laptop)

And I am still seeing the crashing of Chrome tabs

Here's what's been done

• Chrome troubleshooting suggested pulling out extensions, not that I had very many anyway. The only extensions I have in now are Google's own: Application Launcher for Google Drive, Web Developer, and LastPass password manager. And extensions would not be
  an issue causing the tab crashes in Edge either.
• windows memory diagnostic: no errors results in Event Viewer
• sfc /scannow : no integrity violations found
• drivers: video adapter was the only recently needed update, which corrected major problems when SSD installed; all other drivers current
• Often, closing the browser and restarting it makes it work for a while, and then the symptoms appear again (memory leaking? no, couldn't be: we don't live in the mid-1990s using Windows 9x)

Another thing I have noticed: windows of all kinds, but sometimes just the tabs on the browser, can be unresponsive to mouse cursor clicking to bring window in focus. When I open the Task Manager, the ability
of the mouse cursor to activate/focus windows/tabs is completely restored. I haven't figured that out yet, and it might be related to the browser memory issues.

It is an 8-year old laptop, but I have no indication that hardware is failing in any respect but the usual end of life on HDDs I have used in past.

Possible minor bug - Update with both Opera 2x & Google Chrome installed

Strange bug: Running the previous-older version of GPU-Z on Windows 7, 64-bit, SP1 and trying to update GPU-Z. Have Opera 23/24 installed as a 2ndary web browser, and Google Chrome installed as default/main web browser.
Steps that work fine:
1) Run GPU-Z whatever version.
2) Open About.
3) Click the links.
Result: Links open correctly in default browser - Google Chrome.

Steps to reproduce bug:
1) Run GPU-Z, version before latest.
2) Try to check for updates.
3) GPU-Z says an update is available.
4) Tell it to show the update.
Result: Link opens incorrectly in Opera 23/24, instead of default Google Chrome web browser.
Expected: Open in Google Chrome instead.

Note: Opera 23/24 uses the same core as Google Chrome.

Please check and fix, if necessary.
