This is a very broad problem, something I’ve never encountered before and I feel as though it may be a hardware issue at this point.
To sum it up, many of my web-based programs (more specifically JavaScript, I believe), are acting up, with no solution in sight and it persists across windows installations.
I believe the issue has to do with floating point numbers not converting to integers properly, and causing errors due to that.
The list of programs that I’ve noticed being affected are:
- Discord
- Fails to launch entirely
- I have to launch it 10 – 30 times before it is functional
- The error I get each time says “RangeError [ERR_OUT_OF_RANGE]: The value of “position” is out of range. It must be an integer. Received 1000001.0000000149″ with some variation of a slight miscalculation in the float to integer conversion. My guess is that it only launches properly when the float lands perfectly on an integer.

Chrome
- YouTube loads strangely sometimes
- Facebook flat out will not load my messages
- YouTube Music sometimes stutters and skips tracks, or will freeze entirely, I will also occasionally see the track time indicator show floating point numbers
- All Google Drive applications are basically unusable, as they’ll crash every 5 – 15, simply stating “Oops, something went wrong” and force me to refresh the page.
-
Steam
- Various web UI elements will sometimes crash, although not as aggressively or commonly as Google Drive, it acts much in the same way, forcing me to refresh the web UI elements, sometimes multiple times. This does include the games library sidebar, and only seems to happen when I’m scrolling…
- Sometimes the “PLAY TIME” in a game will show a long, unrounded floating point number. E.g. “169.1000000356 hours” instead of the properly formatted 1-decimal place number.

Corsair iCue?
- Not sure if it’s related but my Corsair Scimitar won’t light up while iCue is running, really hard to say if it’s related or not because iCue itself is a steamy pile of garbage.
-
Various Others
- Can’t think of any offhand but I’ve seen random floating point numbers in spots that they don’t belong, in many other locations as well.
All of these problems have persisted after multiple windows reinstalls. Maybe it’s my Windows 11 install drive, maybe it’s a hardware issue, but if anyone has any advice, I’d really appreciate it. I have no idea where to begin looking to resolve this issue on my own, because 99% of searches related to JavaScript are for beginner web programmers, but this seems to be an issue with… the runtime environment? Help plz, thank you.
I’ve tried reinstalling windows, but other than that I haven’t tried anything. It did not fix the issue, I’ve tried multiple times. I’m really hoping this can be resolved with a patch or something.
