GMAIL KEEPS KILLING THE TAB. THE CULPRIT WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED

not gonna lie this is driving me nuts spent a whole week on chrome and im still not done seriously need help here 😭

for Out of Memory, open teh browser's own task manager with Shift+Esc and watch teh tab's memory column while u use teh page. If it climbs endlessly, it's a page or extension leak. If the whole system is low on RAM, close other tabs, check Memory Saver settings and see if teh page behaves on a machine with more memory.

check chrome://crashes (or the equvialent page in ur browser) to confirm crash reports are being generated and when :/ lining up the timestamps with Windows Event Viewer > Application log can reveal a faulting module name like a DLL from some utility, which points straight at teh culprit.

hmmmm

oh also mods can we pin this thread ;) reading this at 2am instead of sleeping, no regrets

oof if crashes hit several different sites and browsers, test teh machine itself. Run sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth from an admin prompt, then run Windows Memory Diagnostic or a longer memory test overnight. bad RAM loves to masquerade as a browser bug. hope that helps :)

ugh. my laptop is officially haunted. @freya_thread did u ever fix it??
