Google chrome not responding

[Crixus]

Every time I go onto Google Chrome to watch YouTube videos for a while google Chrome stops working and says it is not responding so i have to close it and reopen it. How do I fix this

Dump Chrome and install Firefox as I did.

Do you have Hardware acceleration on? if not turn on, if you do turn it off

I had this symptom. Maddening.

I'd tried:

Resetting Chrome
32Bit
64Bit
Disabling/Enabling hardware acceleration.

None worked. Then I right clicked on the icon, went to properties, went to 'Compatibility', selected 'Run Windows Troubleshooter' which recommended Windows 8 Compatibility Mode, which I enabled, clicked 'Test' which opened Chrome and magically I was able to browse without freezing, and then clicked 'Next' to save the setting. After literally months of frustrating freezes, the problem is gone. Hope it helps someone.
