well, i got it 4 times in one week when using chrome, usually when i clicked on a legit link, mostly using espn’s website, just clicking between box score and conversation, which IE has no problem with, or Firefox; chrome was fast, too fast i guess, like an idiot driving a vette, crash into a tree. and now i keep getting attack attempts on my PC, i think it’s google. 2 attack attempts in 2 minutes after uninstalling? time to run Malwarebytes.

Just coming in here to say that I too have endured numerous BSODs after I switched over to Chrome. It’s a shame because Chrome really is fast, but I’d rather have a stable computer than super-fast Internet. Back to Firefox for me!

No it does not only happen on xp… I have a Dell with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed. I get BSOD using Chrome. I thought it had to do with streaming music but it happened this last time just browsing the net. I liked Chrome but it looks like I am going back to Firefox. :\

I had two laptops crash, one after the other, from BSOD, right after installing Google Chrome. This was on xp. I installed Google Chrome on my desktop and have never had any problems. I would really like to know if this is a laptop thing. I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 And am curious if the BSOD only happens on xp… :\

GUYS!!!!!take it from me,Google chrome is one of the real causes for blue screen.I experienced it with 6 laptops in one month-can u believe it!!!.each time I install chrome on my laptop I face the blue screen issue.this happened with many brands,HP and DELL laptops with windows 7 OS-i3 intel processor.
another reason I found after a long research seemed to be caused by Norton Internet security.
it was reported on different websites and there are some recommended solutions for installing some rregistry scanning programs but I wouldn’t advice.

I have the latest Chrome installed but I still get BSOD when I am using chrome. Since I stopped using Chrome for the last 10 day and start using FireFox instead, I haven’t had BSOD at all. I have Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit on brand new machine with Core i7. It must to be something to do with Chrome. I like Chrome, so please fix it!

I had all kinds of problems with google chrome, I tried it on xp desktop, xp laptop IBM R40, HP Quad core processor desktop vista, it crashed with a blue screen error. I have installed it on my machine for about 6 months now, my laptop crash often, but my vista desktop has crashed only once in the six months.

I installed Chrome on my XP netbook (ACER AOP531-h) about 3 months ago & been using Chrome as my default browser since then. Before Chrome I had Safari 4 as my default browser. What problem do I have?? Thankfully none so far….
