I've been dealing with a really strange problem in Google Chrome for about a month now. Whenever I open the browser, it works perfectly fine at first. But after about 5-15 minutes, it suddenly stops loading new tabs or different pages within the same tab. Instead, I get a quick white flash and then a blank gray screen, with just the 'Untitled' text and a frowny-face icon. The only thing that works is reloading the page I'm currently on. I've already tried a bunch of troubleshooting steps like reinstalling Chrome, using different profiles, deleting my old profile, disabling all extensions, and even restarting my computer, but nothing has helped. I'm really hoping someone here has some insights on what might be going on and how I can fix this issue!

I recommend clearing your system cache after uninstalling Chrome completely. Sometimes leftover settings can cause issues. After that, try reinstalling Chrome from the official website again. If you still have problems, consider downloading an older version to check for any conflicts with the current update.
Have you tried switching to another browser like Edge or Firefox? It might help to see if this issue is exclusive to Chrome or if it’s something with your system as a whole.
Also, keep an eye on your memory usage while browsing. If you notice it spiking, it could point to a memory leak issue with one of your extensions or even a corrupted profile.
Yeah, I checked out Edge and it seems to be running just fine. So it looks like Chrome is the problem here.
