It can also result from cached data, background processes, or hardware limits. In this article, we will discuss different ways to solve this error.
1. Update to 64-bit
The first thing you should check is whether you have the 64-bit version of Google Chrome. This should be a priority, especially if you believe you have more than enough RAM for Google Chrome. The 64-bit version of Google Chrome is designed to use more memory, so if Chrome is generating this memory error despite available memory, this might be the issue.
2. Use Task Manager
Sometimes, Chrome’s memory use can suddenly increase, causing crashes or slowdowns. Using the Task Manager to stop Chrome helps by shutting down all its processes and freeing up memory. This often fixes memory problems when you restart it.
3. Clear Cache
Clearing Chrome’s cache frees up memory used to store temporary files, images, and data from websites. Over time, this cached data can fill up space and slow things down. By clearing it, you reduce memory use and help prevent crashes or slowdowns.
4. Disable Extensions
Extensions in Chrome can use a lot of memory, even when not in use. Disabling or removing unused extensions frees up memory, helping Chrome run better and reducing crashes. This is especially helpful for computers with limited RAM.
5. Create a New User Profile
Creating a new user profile can fix Chrome’s memory issues by resetting settings, extensions, and cache. This clears old or corrupt configurations, helping Chrome run smoothly.
