Unfortunately it looks like this crash did not make it to the crash server.
If you want, you can send me the crash dump manually. It's going to
help me see where the crash is, and see if there is any workaround.
Trying the new profile is a good idea too.
To send me the crash dump :
1) Shut down Google Chrome completely (if it is running). Make sure Chrome
is not running.
2) Then go to Start \ Run and type in:
"%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application
Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --noerrdialogs
3) With this new Chrome window, reproduce the browser crash
4) Chrome will not pop up the Application Error dialog, but will instead
just disappear on a crash.
5) Open Start \ Run and type in %TEMP% (and hit Enter)
6) Find the most recent .dmp file in this folder. It will have an ugly name
such as "3ccb9c93-8e2f-4059-8922-
71d3afd1952c.dmp" but the timestamp should be very recent since it was just
created. Sorting by Data Modified makes it
easy to spot. :)
7) Attach the .dmp file to a private email addressed to me
Please remember to refer to this bug in your email, for quick reference.
Thanks.
