    Chrome: Jim is dead.. How to diagnose


    Hello

    My PC has 24 GB of ram.

    Lately, I often got problem where some of my Chrome browser page are killed and a message appear: ( Translation) "Jim is dead" and a note saying Chrome did not had sufficient memory or the proces was stopped for another reason

    Any idea how I could diagnose this problem?

    Any time you see something like this.
    Jim is dead
    I would suspect a infection.

    What security programs are you using?
    You need to do some security scans in my opinion.

    Hello Layback & thanks

    I'm using Kaspersky 15
    Scan is done on a regular basis. Will do it again

    I would also use Malwarebytes and AdwCleaner.
    Their is no program or browser that I know of should come up with Jim is dead
    and then complain about 8 gigs of ram.

    Google seems to suggest this is a genuine message. https://support.google.com/chrome/an...70364?hl=en-GB. The reason for it may be malware though.

    Hello Kado897

    Thanks for your input. I was aware of this info. I got plenty of memory, 24GB and using Win 7 64.

    My suspicion is that Chrome is sharing memory with other software and a conflict arise.

    Chrome can use a lot of memory if you have a lot of tabs open but 24GB is a bit much. Although the suggestion is that this is to do with memory it also mentions tabs being killed by the system. I wonder if malware or something else killed a tab whether you might get this message.

    Perfect timing for such a weird issue. I'd be worried if your name was Jim... lol

    You can see how much memory chrome is using if you enter chrome://memory-redirect/ into the address bar.
