Chrome claiming out of memory
« on: October 25, 2017, 08:08:06 PM »
I can't figure out how to get rid of this.

Every day, or every few days chrome or windows claims its out of memory - yet I have 16 GB ram, and less than 50% is being utilized. Usually it ends up closing a bunch of tabs, or chrome entirely.

Anyone know of a fix?


Thanks!

Chrome has its own task manager, check there to see if anything is weird. Sometimes an extension or something gets wonky.

So, the issue has continued since I first posted about it.

Checking the chrome task manager did not show an obvious culprits.

Oddly enough this is happening on my work computer (32gb DDR4 Ram) and my laptop (16gb), and the ram is usually less than half utilized when it happens.

Aside from chrome complaining its out of memory, windows itself complains and starts shutting chrome down.

I have around 40/50 tabs open usually, but that's nothing compared to what I used to have (100+) before this issue came about...

There is an extension to save all the tabs you have open for later. Why not use it and open fresh.
U really need 50 open tabs ?

Now even when I have only 15/20 tabs open (I used to have 115 plus with no issues, and the only time chrome gave issues was when windows legitimately ran out of memory, here windows and chrome are complaining when there is 8gb plus left)  chrome and windows still complain. As a last resort I have attempted to remove as many extensions as I can live without, and hope for the best...

Clearly something has gone bonkers with your Chrome... Sometimes the easiest solution is the best one.

Can't hurt to try...

Clearing the cache (uninstalling, by default, doesn't do that) might also be helpful.

Are you using anything video watching or file sharing sites while this happens? Sometimes a specific site might be at fault.

The Chrome task manager would've told him if that's the case, no? He said there's nothing apparent there.

Not necessarily, some sites can misuse memory, of course it's not how it's supposed to be, but it is sometimes the case.
