chrome crashing too often in Ubuntu 14.04

Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04, Chrome (google-chrome-stable) crashes a lot more often than before.

I do keep several tabs open (>20), but they are all light (no multimedia) and have never caused any problems in the past.

The processor and memory use is pretty low when the browser becomes unresponsive and the whole system is still usable.

Is there an easy fix? Where can I find more logs for a more complete diagnostic?

Solution 1:

I have the same problem - try to run it with --disable-gpu flag, like

google-chrome --disable-gpu

also I use three monitors on two nvidia videocards with opened developer tools (I guess this is the reason)

Solution 2:

Check out this post on the Google Chrome Help Forum. However, unlike you, the whole system is hanging. I only post it here because it might help other people who come across your post based on the title you gave it. It looks like the system hanging issue might be something to do with Radeon cards so if you don't have one it might not be relevant to you.
