| Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | Zhong123 | 5/21/09 2:51 PM | Whenever i open google chrome, and go to a different website, it crashes. I restart the browser, go to a different website, it crashes. I do it again 5 times, and all times it crashes. Occasionally, I can visit more than one website. But after around |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/22/09 7:57 AM | This happens to me too ever since I upgraded to 2.0 the other day. I have not figured out what the culprit is (i.e. Flash). But Chrome is constantly crashing on page loads, on all different sites. I'm using Vista x64. |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | Toni (Googler) | 5/26/09 6:35 PM | @Zhong123 - If you haven't updated to the latest version, can you try that and see if it resolves your issue? If it doesn't, can you send us a crash dump? Instructions on how to do so can be found in ref 1 below. @w00d - Please send us a dump file a |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/26/09 7:21 PM | There are no crash dump files located at any of the directories listed on the referenced page and it won't let me submit the report without it. |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | Toni (Googler) | 5/28/09 3:25 PM | @w00d - That's strange that there wouldn't be any crash dump files. When you say Google Chrome crashes, do you mean that the window has actually closed with an error message? Or do the pages never finish loading and/or freeze? If the pages are speci |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/28/09 5:37 PM | The entire browser crashes with a windows error message. I just got this one: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: chrome.exe Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 4a0e7ac8 Fault |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | nakro | 5/28/09 5:59 PM | w00d, there are known issues with chrome and some theme modifiers.... like i think the one by alienwareif you have any theme (other by MS) installed on your machine, remove it also, some XP users have vista like desktop which is a result of patching |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/28/09 7:15 PM | No theme modifiers. Just standard Vista Aero. I have AVG antivirus installed & latest defs. Using windows firewall. I run nightly scans. I'm using Vista x64 SP2 (just updated today, no change in Chrome behavior from SP1). |

| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/29/09 6:01 PM | I did a clean install (new profile) and I am still getting crashes. Not as many as before but still several per hour. |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | nakro | 5/29/09 6:07 PM | ok, time for the dev channel follow these instructions and you can skip the part about backing up foldershttp://http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel if you did it right, the version should show 3.0.182.2 |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/29/09 6:15 PM | Done and done... I'll keep updated. |

| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/29/09 7:40 PM | It crashes when a page loads or reloads. It can happen on any page randomly. I can't reproduce it on just one page or anything like that. Sometimes the page loads a dozen times just fine, then it crashes 3 times in a row, then its fine for a while ag |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | nakro | 5/29/09 8:19 PM | my only other guess is to do a full sidk scan for malware.... |
| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | w00d | 5/30/09 11:51 PM | Trust me there is no malware. But I found something interesting. If I browse with only 1 tab it appears there are no crashing issues. I've been going most of the day with just one tab and haven't had a crash until I had about 3 tabs open. So it seems |

| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | HTVaquero | 12/26/09 9:49 AM | I have been using Chrome for a while now. The only time it will crash on me is when a script takes too long to load. Usually it's Adobe's Flash Player or Shockwave plug-in the problem, but chrome will stay open and no window error msg. and as long as |

| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | MarianoLopezGappa | 12/28/09 10:31 AM | I've remembered something that may be useful: sometimes while clicking on a link, Chrome actually downloads the php/html/whatever file instead of opening it on the current tab, and it crashes a few seconds later. This is not the source of all crashes |

| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | lazaroskyr | 12/7/10 12:37 AM | I love Chrome and cannot use another browser...

| Re: Why does Google Chrome constantly crash? | tim_oz | 1/24/11 4:49 PM | This is true. Today chrome crashed 5 times in a row to 'protect my computer'. Lately it's been a real pain. Plus I don't like the fact that one is FORCED to upgrade, even though there's no guarantee it's stable. In my experience, one is better off |
