Why is Chrome freezing?
Solution 1:
It is a bug of GPU acceleration. You can disable it in chrome command line. Add these parameters in chrome command line. --disable-gpu --disable-software-rasterizer
Solution 2:
I had the exact same problem with the same symptoms. The fix on this page did it for me.
To summarise:
- Type in about:plugins into the address bar.
- Press the Details + button at the top right of the list.
- Find Adobe Flash Player on the list. There should be two files under that entry.
- For the entry under Chrome e.g found at
C:\Users\(User)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\....click Disable. - Restart Google Chrome.
Although this worked for me, I can't be sure it will for you. I hope it does, give it a try.
Solution 3:
I too was having a similar problem with Chrome. I was able to fix it by stopping the following services.
- McAfee HIPSCore Service
- McAfee Host Intrusion Prevention Service
Once these services were stopped, chrome.exe was removed from Task Manager and then I was able to restart Chrome.
Here's the link to the Google Product Forums post.
I hope this helps someone else too!
