Comment 37 for bug 1388612

It used to work for all of us, I remember it too. The bug first appeared in version 36 and it was only a couple of times in 4 months. It got worse in 37 and finally it's permanent in 38.

They keep changing things. The fact that hardware acceleration is enabled, doesn't mean that all functions are enabled too. If you type chrome://gpu on your search bar, you will see a more thorough list of what is actually enabled and what's not yet. They keep certain functions disabled till they become stable.

On my system, the Web store is crashing the GPU each and every time I go there without disabling hardware acceleration first. It's not random. The web store has no videos. hotmail is doing it too but randomly. Google Chrome download page caused it once too. It has to be something else or there maybe 2 or 3 factors causing this.
