Crashes
Your Google Chrome may crash while watching YouTube videos or navigating websites. Frequent
crashes are experienced due to several reasons, say conflicts with the modules, corruption of the
profile data, problem with the integration of IDM, incompatible features such as software rendering,
and so on.
Check for Conflicting Modules
Modules are used during program runtime. A module could be commonly shared with different
applications. You’re experiencing problem with the web browser because one or more modules
installed is not functioning properly. Retrieve the list of all installed modules and disable any
malfunctioning modules found.

1. Double click Google Chrome desktop shortcut.
2. Type the following in the Address Bar:
chrome://conflicts
3. A new tab will be displayed. This tab will come up with the list of modules installed. It may take a
minute or two.
4. If any problems are found with the existing modules, uninstall it.

deleting the existing user profile. Corrupted user profile causes the browser to crash repeatedly.

Resolve Problem with the Any Download Managing App Integration
Usually people use a download managing software to externally catch downloads and to boost
download speed. The problem arises when the downloading managing app fails to load and thus
Google Chrome crashes. You may have to disable the download managing app in order to fix this
issue. The actual process may vary depending upon the program you use.
