When I use chrome, after a while it freezes and I have to close it. After it closes, I can't open it again until I shut down the computer. This often happens on youtube but on other tabs too. Yes I did reinstall it. I think my drivers are updated so I am not sure what to do. At one point after it crashed I wanted to delete it but it wouldn't let me uninstall it saying it's running. I checked Task manager and nothing was running.
 
Chrome always runs in the background unless you select the (rather hidden) option for it not to. Your best bet may be to delete all Chrome data and then tell it not to run when you close it.

Clear data outside of Chrome:

Clear data from within Chrome:

Stop Chrome from running when it's closed:
