NFT: HELP: Chrome crashes my work computer everyday

BigBlueDownTheShore : 11/12/2018 3:27 pm
I have no idea how to fix it.

I run Windows 10 and up until I would say late August, this was not an issue.
Use Mozilla instead

I think he tried, but we have one of those 3rd party guys, so my RAM issue isn't very high on his priority list.
When was the last time

you've ran Windows Updates? Since this latest stable build of windows 10 (1803) I've noticed a lot of weird quirky issues disappear after updates.
Use OPERA

This doesn't compute

If your computer is essential to your role, your employer needs to fix the issue, and until then, you shouldn't be expected to meet the requirements of your position.

If management disagrees, both direct and upper management, start looking for a new employer as they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
It should be an update issue

W10 was struggling over the Summer with a new patch that caused Chrome to freeze the screen. There was a patch for it in August on chrome and W10 so making sure everything is up to date is step number one. You can try to wake the screen when it happens with Windows logo key + Ctrl + Shift + B. I had the issue for a few weeks until MS patched it.
BBDTS, odd you mention this

Chrome has been acting badly for me for the last month or more on an Apple OS device. It has frozen repeatedly (and I try to avoid Safari on the MacBookPro because I find it prone to seizures). In the last two weeks, on Twitter, my feed won't even populate with graphics or the standard GUI. Very weird--and annoying.
Turn it off and then back on.

You're welcome.
First try Joey's advice. If that doesn't work, download another

browser. If you still have the same problem, it's probably something besides Chrome.
Toss it..  
Dillon in Va : 11/12/2018 7:33 pm : link
toss it out the window. Tell your boss it exploded. Reap a brand new computer
Maybe the crash is a symptom of another problem?

Does your IT dept. at work have a re-imaging procedure?

Wipe your computer clean and reload your programs. I don't know where you work but, bigger companies usually allot space for data on their servers. That way you won't lose anything.
