Brave on my VM causes Host-System to restart/crash


Description of the issue:

  • While opening the browser, CPU usage goes up to 100%. If the tab hasn’t started at this point, programms on the host starts to freeze/crash and afterwards restarts the OS unless I force close the browser/VM via Taskmanager.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Opening the browser
  2. It suddenly crashes after a few seconds without any error message
  3. Crashes again if white screen occurs longer than a few seconds

Brave Version( check About Brave):
Version 1.47.171 Chromium: 109.0.5414.87 (Offizieller Build) (64-Bit)
