    Two things.

    Firstly, I use Google Chrome & I'm regularly get 'Aw snap, an error occurred' messages.
    It's doing my head in.

    Secondly, if I'm watching tube videos it often freezes up.
    It makes a buzzing noise & the mouse pointer go's so I have to hold the power button down to close it.

    Any ideas lads?

    Work out whether it is Chrome or your laptop - try using Firefox or IE for a few days and see if the same thing happens.

    Watching 'Tube' videos.

    Fake Taxi <ok>

    Sounds like your browser needs updated, uninstall it and install a new version.

    Adds slow your laptop up in browsers. Install add removers and it should speed Chrome up. Run your anti virus and your system disc clear up too.

    I have Adblock installed.
    My os is windows 7.
    If I updated Chrome would it mess with that?

    run CCCleaner free version if you have it, then do a disc clean up, shut the lap top down and remove the battery on the back, replace the battery power up and delete all programs you do not use and any add ons and run CCCleaner again and you should find everything as sweet as a nut......
