      Hi, I updated last 2 versions of Opera v34, it freezes every 20-30 minutes,
      I have to force-close and restart, then Opera works for 20-30 minutes and freezes again

      I have about 30 tabs opened concurrently, but only 5-6 are really active (yahoo mail, google, amazon, ...)
      I saw the other post regarding 30 secs freezing, but it waited several minutes (on 2 freeze-scenarios) without update/restore of normal behaviour.

      pc Windows 7 Pro, cpu I5, ram 8GB

        Do you see any error messages in the Event Viewer at the time Opera locks up? Do you have any extensions installed in Opera?

          Hi
          thank you for coming back to my post.
          I see no event viewer logs relevant to Opera lock (when I force-close Opera, it is logged in Application Event log...)
          AD Block Plus installed as extension,
          Turbo Mode is always on
          I see several Opera.exe processes (less than 10 proces), but only one working at 25% (1 core of 4, cpu I5 ...)

          any additional infos?
          any internal/debug window I can keep monitored, in order to provide some detailed info?

          Thx
          BR

            Turn off Adblock Plus and see if that helps. Also try turning off Turbo. Are you on a slow or metered connection? If not, you shouldn't be using Turbo anyway.

            I see several Opera.exe processes

            That is normal.

              Hi
              thank you for your feedback.

              1st test: disabled Turbo
              result: 1hour test and so far, so good

              unfortunately I am on a slow connection (mobile), with 1 GB included (up/down).
              once reached that quota, I have to pay KB.

              Is there anz way I can monitor Turbo feature? memory, network bandwidth, ...

              BR

                Hi it seems to be Turbo Mode the root cause of those block.
                I re-enabled it and within 20 minutes I got a Opera freeze.
                I need Turbo mode, and cannot use other browsers.

                is there any way to detect if a freeze is going to happen?
                Which parameter may I monitor? anything else I can do in order to avoid Turbo mode?

                BR

                  Just don't enable it.

                        Hi I come here again, for a quick update.
                        it seems that the problem i reported has disappeared.

                        I was used to turn on/off Turbo mode every half hour, however left it turned on for a while and no crash happened (so far ... knock wood!)

                        what can you tell me about this behaviour ?
                        was Opera browser on my computer or Turbo Mode servers or ... ?

                        BR
