Question for people using google chrome browser?

Question

I downloaded google chrome yesterday and have been using it for a bit.

Problem is during a couple of sessions with it I got the BSoD. Never got this before. First occurrence was right after I downloaded it and went to a couple sites and it just happened again a few minutes ago.

Is anyone else having this problem to or has heard anything about it?

Answer 1

It's happening because google chrome is still BETA so it has lots of bugs and glitches that need to be fixed right now. I would wait a few months till the stable version is out before using it alot. Right now most of the problems will be down to the browsers programming so you can't do anything about them

Answer 2

try this

RAM and Virtual Memory check – Any OS that has XP type taskmanager

========================

Open up the internet to eg yahoo answers and have a few things open .(eg Word excel or a couple browser pages)

If you normally play music, play that.  Close down anything else just for this test.

Open Task manager >performance tab

Look at the RAM usage in the physical memory (k).  If you are using more than 60% of your RAM while your computer is only doing the above then there is not much left for video or games.  You may need to install more RAM

1 Gig for XP, 2 Gig for Vista

Look at the PF usage.  That is the virtual memory (Paging File).  Your virtual memory minimum setting should be more than what is being used at this moment.

Your virtual memory maximum should be set to 1.5 times the amount of RAM you have.  Eg 1 gig RAM, therefore 1.5 gig Virtual Memory

Right click my computer icon >properties > advance tab >performance settings > advance tab > virtual memory change > select the drive with the operating system on it (normally C:) bullet custom.  Enter the max value as one and a half times the RAM you have.

Remember to have your minimum setting entry,more than what was being used in the test.

In this example, if Ram is 1 gig and the PF was using 360 Meg, then I choose 500 min and 1500 max.  >set

Your computer is now set for optimum performance for the RAM you have.

Its best to manual set VM as windows tend to lose its way when automatic and forgets to erase it. It can end up filling up your hard drive empty space
