There are some cases when Google Chrome crashes. This may be caused by the lack of memory that is used to load them. This issue can be caused by insufficient system memory, extension issues, or an unsuitable browser cache. The issue also can be a result of the video RAM isn’t up to par or Chrome having run out of its allowed memory limit.

How to solve the Google Chrome “Ran Out of Memory” issue

There are several ways to fix the error:

Restart your device

When you restart the system, all the apps, and the RAM would be cleared. This will let you use your device with a clean site. This will also help you to solve some other errors that have been occurred, such as app conflicts and hardware malfunctions that result in BSODs.

Keep in mind that the Restart option should be used for that. If you use the Shutdown option, it won’t help, particularly if the “Fast startup” feature is turned on. To restart the device, you should click on Start, then tap on the Power icon, and after that click on Restart.
