I love chrome but lately it has been crashing non stop for no apparent reason. This all happened after the 2.0 versions (the ones where you can close the thumbnails in the tab section). I've tried and updated to the latest beta 3.0something but no go. The original version ones don't crash and was using that until it updated by itself to the 2.0's. I'm using vista 64 bit btw. Anyone know a fix?

Also just a note, I've been getting a lot of crashes on the newest version, Dev 3.0.183.1

I got a couple of crashes and when I restart Chrome, I get the message that Chrome did not shut down properly the last time

So far so good on my Vista (32 Bit) system :-)

Mind you, you and Devils are Windows 7 if I'm not mistaken and Dar T is Vista 64 ...

Just an observation ....

Chrome crashed while in WinXP

Add XP to the list :-)

Mind you I usually only get crashes when closing Chrome.

I'll repost the same here:

It is NOT normal that your browser crashes with frequency !
There must be something wrong with your system or settings.
I use Chrome as my only browser and it maybe crashed twice on me this year.
Believe you me, I do a lot of browsing, testing, experimenting, extension, user scripts, speed tests, etc...
A lot more stresstesting than the average Joe.
So I insist, your system or other programs must be to blame because Chrome does not crash often.
I am not a blind Chrome fan boy but facts are facts and the Dev version, that I use, has some problems but crashing is certainly not one of them.

Just my opinion,

I use Windows XP SP3 32 bit
My machine is equipped with 2 X Xeon Processors (single core)
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400 video card + calibrated Eizo 21"monitor
4 GB Memory
Chrome 3.0.183.1 (Official Build 17570)
I use CCleaner every day to get rid of overhead junk files.
My registry is cleaned every day (Registry Mechanic)
My disk are defragmented every week. (Perfectdisk 10)
Spy and virusscans every week. (AVG Pro & Superantispyware)

I didn't say it was normal, I said it was frequent with the new dev release. Since I know there is nothing wrong with my computer, and I know it's not a particular extension I'm not going to bother troubleshooting further. I can accept that it's a dev version and there are going to be problems. Having it crash while closing out Chrome once in a while is far from annoying.

I remembered that I got to remove all traces of Chrome when I couldn't open Chrome

ps users who run Win 7 are not newbies :-)
