My computer seems to be crashing randomly on me and Im not to sure why. I found that the less programs I have open the longer it lasts, but when playing a game I can only have like one other program running at a time. I am also gettting popups on google chrome now saying theres a bug and your computer needs to be scanned call this number "123042423"
Im obviously not going to press or call themanything but close the window. I have norton also and I did a full system scan

Sounds like you have some adware/malware. Download MalwareBytes and ADWcleaner and run them to remove all of that junk from your PC.

Some of the more persistent malware will stop you from downloading/running those programs so if they do try safe mode or download and run rkill before you try to run the cleaner programs.

It never went away but did get better. I downloaded Avast and malware bytes and did system scans and found nothing. I downloaded windows ten and it still seems to happen. I only notice it when I am playing Arma 3. Yesterdat I reinstalled Arma 3 (not because of this problem) and it still does it. Im wondering if anyone else can help me figure it out. thank you for any help or comments I really want to play Arma but its like impossible now.

I have no idea as to why this is happening but you could always do a fresh install.

You clearly have some type of Virus / AdWare.

Download Malwarebytes free trial from here - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

After you download Malwarebytes, download AdWareCleaner for extra protection - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If you still see more Pop-Ups or if you want extra protection download Ad-Aware cleaner - [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

If you are still having these popups and ads after doing all the steps that people are listing above, make sure to check your installed programs list and look for anything suspicious. If nothing is left there it's very possible that you have a piece of new adware that malwarebytes or the other major pieces of software have yet to update their definitions for. A lot of the time the malware will change your internet settings as well to have all your connections go through one of their servers.
