Where is Google Chrome Crash Dump Located?

I am going Google Chrome, on Windows XP. Sometimes it crashed, and I want to know where the crash dump is located, just for fun.


Solution 1:

There is no longer an 'under the hood' option anymore and hence the above answer is obsolete and no longer of any use. With a newer version of chrome you need to enable crash logs by going to

  1. settings/privacy
  2. enabling: Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google.
  3. After that you can check your crash logs here: chrome://crashes/

Solution 2:

As far as I know you cannot see crash dumps / logs unless you've started chrome with the

--enable-logging --v=1 (in Linux)

flag. Otherwise the only thing you see will be the crashID.

Please refer to this page for more information regarding chrome and debuging/logging.

Note

Though I'd be a happy person if someone proved me wrong and showed a way for retrieving a crashdump / log based on crashID ( f5bf0cf6f184b9d2 )

Solution 3:

You can get the dmp file and analyze it following these directions: http://www.chromium.org/developers/decoding-crash-dumps
