Google Chrome Out of Memory When nothing else is running

You have over 3GB of free virtual RAM with a largest piece of 2GB. Here you shouldn't get Out of Memory errors. To workaround this, you should use the 64Bit Version of Google Chrome.

Hey there! I'm a 19 year old, self-taught computer programmer. I've loved computers my whole life and have always been intrigued with programming in general. I also love to help people whenever I can, which, along with learning myself, is my goal here. I'm far from the best, but willing to share my limited knowledge with others who are also looking to learn.

I'm having an issue where Google Chrome will only display the "He's dead, Jim" error (out of memory). I can't even go to the settings tab without it showing the error. Nothing else is running, only the one tab, all other programs (aside from antivirus) are closed.

I've tried reinstalling Chrome (and removing the old registry entries), and I've cut everything else running on the system down to the bare minimum. Task manager shows that there's still tons of memory free.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

  @magicandre1981 Good question, I have no idea. It's too bad they don't stay up, it could be a useful resource to someone else later on with the same issue.

  Is it fixed when you use the 64Bit Version of Chrome?

  @magicandre1981 Yes it was. Although I did do a bunch of other stuff along with it so it's hard to say if that was all that fixed it.
