Chrome Keeps Crashing... Any Suggestions?

Options
Chrome keeps crashing after 5/10 minutes and I don't even need to browse, it just goes!

It's up to date, version 22.0.1229.94.

Pretty frustrating as its my preferred browser so any suggestions welcome. :)

    Is the timing accurate? It could suggest another process interfering with it, maybe malware trying to hook into it or an overzealous antivirus, or maybe there is some kind of duff script running in the browser (is it related to any particular site?)??
  • I'd start by inspecting any plugins and selectively disabling them.

    Thanks for the replies. I forgot to add that Im using the Mac version.

    I've just timed it and it took 5 mins which seems to be consistent with previous crashes. I'll try the plugins/extensions to see if that has an effect.

    It's known to have problems with opening too many tabs and for some reason on XP it causes iTunes to have errors.

    I've given up on it and returned to Firefox. It may be slower but it's more robust

    I've used it for some time with lots of tabs open and never had an issue.

    Ive just tried with all the plugins/extensions disabled and it still crashes. :(

    Uninstall and reinstall?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    I did a reinstall but it didn't seem to make a difference.

    I left it overnight and it seems to be OK or it has been for around 20 mins so far.
