My chrome browser keeps crashing, how to solve?
There are a few things you can do to try to fix a Chrome browser that keeps crashing:
- Update Chrome. Make sure that you are running the latest version of Chrome. Google regularly releases updates to Chrome that fix bugs and improve performance. To check for updates, click the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome and select About Chrome.
- Restart Chrome. Sometimes a simple restart can fix minor glitches that are causing Chrome to crash.
- Restart your computer. A restart can also clear up temporary memory and other issues that may be causing Chrome to crash.
- Close unnecessary tabs and extensions. Chrome can be a memory hog, so having too many tabs or extensions open at the same time can cause it to crash. Try closing any tabs or extensions that you are not using.
- Disable hardware acceleration. Hardware acceleration can improve Chrome’s performance, but it can also cause crashes in some cases. To disable hardware acceleration, click the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome and select Settings. Then, scroll down to the System section and disable the Use hardware acceleration when available option.
- Clear your browsing data. Corrupted browsing data can also cause Chrome to crash. To clear your browsing data, click the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome and select More tools > Clear browsing data.
- Reset Chrome. If you have tried all of the above and Chrome is still crashing, you can try resetting it to its default settings. This will clear all of your browsing data and extensions, so be sure to back up any important data before you do this. To reset Chrome, click the three dots in the top right corner of Chrome and select Settings. Then, scroll down to the Advanced section and click Reset and clean up. Click Restore settings to their original defaults and then click Reset settings.
- Uninstall and reinstall Chrome. If you have tried all of the above and Chrome is still crashing, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling it. This will clear all of your Chrome data, so be sure to back up any important data before you do this. To uninstall Chrome, go to your computer’s settings and uninstall programs. Then, download and reinstall Chrome from the Chrome website.
