[Blogland] The Chrome Conundrum
Frostbyte:
So around last week my Google chrome has been acting up and its really pissing me off. Every so often Chrome will freeze up and I will have to close it with task manager, however one unkillable process always remains running but after a few minutes it finally dies too. If i reboot chrome it will freeze up instantaneously, and can even lag my pc quite a bit forcing me to restart my whole pc, this evening ive had to restart it 5 times and Im on the verge of switching over to Firefox if this keeps up.
Ive checked for viruses, none found. I have alot of clear space on my drive. I have no extensions running, and chrome was reinstalled cleanly the other day i had this, and it still affects me.
My pc is about 4 years old now and is pretty dusty inside so it may just need a good cleanup both internally and externally as ive thought about doing a clean install.
Ive googled and nothing has helped, ive heard some say its an internet issue, which may be the case since ive noticed my connection dieing for a few secs today, aswell as my irl fiend whi used the same ISP.
Im still unsure what the hell is happening but i am fearing my pc may be dieing, if anyone else knows or has the same issue please help.

Is it better than it used to be? I actually used it for a long time before I got Chrome round the beginning of Highschool. I wouldnt mind using it if i had to, I just like how Chrome is fast and has Google sync to stuff with it.

im using windows 7 and internet explorer 11, it runs comparably to chrome, the only websites I have problems with are sites with a lot of ads like Toyotanation or imageshack when I used to use that
edit: I just did a little test, IE was actually a little bit quicker loading my facebook feed
another thing, Bing is stuff but there are ways you can completely avoid the MSN homepage and switch it out to google as well as setting the top bar to do a google search but they make it intentionally hard to do. I did the bing it on thing and got 5/5 google, bing is for losers
