computer freezes when I open chrome

[lololjh]

I've been using chrome for several years now. Yesterday night, I opened up several taps on chrome. There was nothing wrong but at some point my computer stopped. I can move the mouse but cant click or open up anything. I kept turning on and off manually. Everything works fine unless I open up chrome and it freezes in about 3-4 secs. I dont know if its relevant but 1 or 2 days ago, I deleted some ad apps that was automatically installed and kept bugging me for months by deleting it on chrome setting extension. (I tried to download adblock but it the tap for download doesnt appear whenever I try to download it)
I was wondering how I can fix this chrome crash.

ok kool so do you atleast know how much ram is installed ?

 

[lololjh]

No is there a way to check it?

 

[jbrown156]

click start >> right click on my computer >> left click on properties
tell the processor,installed memory and system type from the window that opens up

 

[lololjh]

It's 2.26 GHz, 2.95 GB of RAM

 

[jbrown156]

doesnt it say pentium or celeron or core 2 duo .. anyway i want to see if its old hardware that is causing the problem.. whats the name of the processor

 

[lololjh]

Yes it says Core (TM) 2 duo CPU
P8400 @2.26GHz

 

[lololjh]

Tablet PC Edition 2005
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

so the system is definitely powerful enough so try a fresh reformat of windows to see if the problem is caused by a system slow down. ...

Hi,

I'm having the same problem, used it for years on my work pc with windows xp, but since this week, it started to crash. I think the culprit must be a update of chrome. You can do ctrl+alt+del and close chrome.exe, it will let you open again. I will disable the notifcation extension to see if it helps the crashing. Don't need to format your computer, it's a Chrome bug, if you install windows xp and they dont update Chrome, it will happen again.

Best regards
