Most of the time Google Chrome crash due to Flash or Shockwave specially after not viewing a webpage for a while or just leaving it idle without doing anything to it. Chrome is differently built from other internet browsers in that it has its own built-in Flash Player and Shockwave plugin. Other browsers need the users to install Flash and Shockwave to make use of Flash/Shockwave-based media contents to work.
To reduce such crashes, you can try disabling Flash and Shockwave in Google Chrome. While in Chrome, enter this in the Address/URL box:
about:plugins
Then hit the Enter key. On the upper right-hand side of the page, click the plus (+) sign before the word "Details". Under Shockwave or Flash Player that includes this in its Location or file path, click the Disable link:
...Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\...
There might be 2 or 3 Flash/Shockwave entries in your plugin list. Do NOT disable the item that does not include the file path I mentioned above. When you're done just close the Plugins page. After a while of using Chrome, you may be prompted to install Flash Player. Go ahead and do it. Or you can just go directly to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect to install Flash Player. To install Shockwave Player, just go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/?promoid=JOPDF. To test your Flash Player, proceed to http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. To test your Shockwave Player, go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/authorwareonly.html.
You're DONE!
