Google Chrome Fault?

Hello guys. When i try to open Google Chrome, taskbar doesn't work. Wait symbol comes, and whole system gets freeze. But chrome will be running properly. I can browse any website in chrome. Then i must either Log Off or Shut Down. I use Genuine Windows 7 HP on my Dell N5030. Please solvemy problem!

Are u able to launch task manager(ctrl+shift+esc)???

Don't use Chrome.

Either try Chromium or just use Opera. It might seem intimidating at first, but its better.

Sometimes Google Chrome tends to utilize too much of CPU and RAM. Try re-installing the software, else switch to FF or Opera

Yes, but it doesn't respond and stays above the window!

Have u tried updating chrome??First clean uninstall it and then install an updated version.

Reinstall or Use this Mozilla Download

M

have you stopped the google updater from startup (in msconfig) ??
that may stop chrome to automatically updatye and create problems..
do a clkean install buddy.
the problem should end.
anyways, how much ram do you have ??

Try opening chrome's task manager (I think it was shift+escape) and see if anything turns up.

E

have u enabled Taskbar autohide option, if yes then try disabling that,
also try uninstalling IDM, or any other download manager, (for temporary check)

Hijacking this thread with a different issue, (guess it's better than creating a different topic),
When scrolling through a long page why scrolling is horrible? It stutters all the way, doesn't happen in Mozilla, IE or any other browser i've used. Any way to fix it?

@ ^^ and IronCruz - both of you are using the latest chrome version ( stable one ? )

1. Try disabling one extension at a time and check.
2. Try using smooth-scroll extension.
3. Tried deleting the cache, cookies etc?
4. Another radical method may be trying to block background images.
5. Use another browser like Firefox or Opera :-D

I'd say, move to a better browser like Opera altogether.

@ ithehappy - yep you and Op both and chrome stutters on every webpage or just on some specific websites ? if you are using the latest stable version give the latest dev build a try.

maybe not chrome's problem,maybe some other problems . I have been using chrome last two years never had such problems.

But one thing i must mention RAM usage is huge in chrome compared to other browsers

Yes..

Better to use Mozilla or Opera.

@IconCruz: Could be one of the extensions. Try running chrome by disable one extension at a time to find out which one is crashing.

I had a similar problem too. Chrome would crash each time I closed the browser. Disabled one extn at a time and found +1 button (for Google Plus) to be at fault.

It has bad scrolling on all web pages, but it becomes horrible when scrolling a long page.
It's nowhere near Mozilla's smoothness I've used to see.

Thanks, would give it a try today.

Switched to Chrome for two reasons, it starts up a lot quickly than Mozilla and that auto web page loading while typing the address. I won't use Opera, sorry. Never liked that browser.

Update:
Okay I've installed 'smooth scrolling' extension but I don't think there is any betterment but placebo effect only. Also I only have 5 extensions. I really don't know why scrolling is so bad. And I have cleared everything, cache, browsing history and all, still, Mozilla seems like butter.
I wanna show this in a video. Is there a software with which I can record video of my desktop? I mean I wanna record what I am doing..

^^ here you go :
CamStudio - Free Screen Recording Software

But Opera is a lot better than Chrome and Firefox.

Perhaps re-installing chrome might work.. Just a wild hit and trial method though. Use Chrome sign-in to sync your bookmarks if you are worried of losing those.

Sometimes Google Chrome shows trouble .Try to uninstall and then reinstall it

Hope this helps.

Opera's scrolling is waaay waaay better than Chrome. Its just too smooth.
