Comment #21 on issue 12189 by punia.ankit: Renderer freezes http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=12189
I've been facing this same problem for quite some time now. I have used all builds of Chrome released till date (currently using 4.0.223.16 on Windows 7 Ultimate). None of them seems to work correctly. I've noted that the browser freezes - when I try to type in a text box - when I'm on a webpage that has heavy flash stuff like youtube.com (freezes more frequently) - when I open some link in a new tab It's not like that I don't have a decent machine configuration. Every other browser/application works just dandy. I tried a lot of things to get rid of this problem on my own (like rebooting, clearing cache, deleting temporary files, switching off firewall or AV, reinstalling chrome, reinstalling OS, and bunch of other stuff too). While I was troubleshooting, I noticed something that when I watch some video over internet, the video freezes but the audio works just the way it should do. So, I thought perhaps the GPU is the culprit, why not get the latest graphics drivers. I did, and the problem was solved but a little while later, it was back again. I said, okay, let's get rid of this new "useless driver". So, I un-installed it and checked again. And to my surprise, it worked absolutely fine again which got me all confused, and I started searching for answers. (I don't know how long it is going to hold this time) And that's when I found this thread. I am no developer -- just an engineering student. I just thought, this info may help. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
