Why does Chrome freeze on me when I search for specific subjects?

Asked by sweetsweetstephy (341points) April 20th, 2013

I know this will probably sound odd, but I have noticed that for a while, the Google Chrome tab that I am on will freeze if I search anything related to Islam. This has been happening for about 1–2 months, and I tested this out today. I typed in ‘Islam’ and the tab froze. I closed it, opened a new tab, and typed in ‘Christianity’ and search results instantly popped up. Same with ‘Judaism’ and ‘Buddhism,’ instant search results. I kept trying this out, and it would freeze whenever I searched things like ‘Qaddafi,’ “Gaddafi,’ ‘Libya,’ ‘Bin Laden,’ (something interesting was that search results came up for ‘Bin Laden dead,’ but then the tab froze when I deleted the word ‘dead’) ‘Quran,’ and it also froze when I tried listening to a Palestinian song that was on YouTube. I am not constantly searching these terms, but I have noticed that it freezes the few times that I have. Testing this out today confirmed it. Has anyone else heard of this happening/have had this happen to them? What could be causing these strange occurrences? I have never had this happen before. Is there a way to fix this?

Try the following:

1. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies

2. Go through all the advanced troubleshooting techniques for clearing malware from your computer.

3. You might also have a bloated registry which has become the home for all kinds of useless bits and pieces of data. Whenever any change is made to the system settings or a program is installed or uninstalled, a new entry is generated in the registry. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There is a multitude of useless bits and pieces to be removed.Parts of uninstalled programs,parts of incompletely installed programs,dead drivers and many other things. clean your registry and remove all the useless data fragments and no longer needed information to fix the freeze error! I should like to commend Registry Easy http://computer-e-book-money.com to you ! You can try ! Good luck!
