Freaken Google Chrome

[TysonTheAussie]

 

Hi all,

Pretty certain this belongs here.

Every time I turn my computer and try to play or do anything that isn't look at my wall paper this Google Chrome process opens up and slows everything down.

The other 8 Chrome processes are from Chrome actually being used, this one is just a dick.

 

I've done a few different Google searches, but no variation of the phrase "Why is Chrome using 60+ percent of my CPU for no damn reason" comes up with anything that is helpful.

I can just close it, and it won't start again until is turn my PC on and off again, even if I actually open Chrome at some stage, but it's obnoxious.

 

Does anyone know how to permanently fix this?

Thanks everyone :)

Did you install any extensions recently?

[TysonTheAussie]

No, haven't installed anything in ages, really only have ad blocker running.

Check if chrome starts up at boot, might load some extensions in the background without actually opening chrome itself.

If you mean the Start-Up tab in the task manager, then nah not on start up.

Yea that's what I meant. 

What hardware are you running? at my work I have a 4c i5-6300U and that has a lot of struggle with Chrome as well. especially when playing videos

I'm sitting here with 5 tabs open and it is not using anywhere near that much. I have quite the number of tabs and extensions, but it's only using 1.5%. That seems a bit excessive.  If I were you I would reinstall Chrome. But if that doesn't work go and get The Great Tab Suspender from the Chrome Webstore; https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-great-suspender/klbibkeccnjlkjkiokjodocebajanakg This suspends non-active tabs - it might be able to help.

I'm gonna reinstall Chrome when I get home from Uni, then I'll keep y'all updated.

I'm almost certain it's something with the Chrome on my PC because my laptop doesn't have the same problem and it's got all the same extensions etc installed.
