A Chrome tab crashed

Aw, Snap means Chrome killed a tab that failed. One crash is a reload. If it repeats, the usual causes are an extension, a heavy site, or graphics acceleration.

  1. Reload the tab. If only one site crashes, the problem is that page, not the whole computer.
  2. Update Chrome at chrome://settings/help.
  3. Open a private window. If the site survives there, turn extensions off at chrome://extensions until you find the one that kills the tab.
  4. If many tabs crash, turn off hardware acceleration in Settings, System, and restart Chrome.
  5. Clear data for that site only, not the whole profile, under Settings, Privacy, Cookies and other site data.

Do not use a page that promises to repair Chrome with a download. The official update is at chrome://settings/help.
