I had that too - wound up buying a copy of Reg Cure Pro (£19 or something) and that sorted it out. And increased the laptops speed too!

I have uninstalled Chrome after it regularly stopped working fullstop.

if you like chrome, try comodo dragon, works off the same engine but is very stable.

weird.

I use chrome (and chromium) exclusively, and never had an issue.

This has been happening to me the past week along with shockwave crashing. Just go into our plugins and look at flash, I has two conflicting versions so I disabled he one on chrome and left it to use the one in windows. It's fine now.

Working exceptionally well here with no issues.
Check all your plug ins.
Un-install and re-install

Windows updates up to date?
Virus Scans done?

It's been hanging on my phone, chromebook and W7 machine.

type

chrome://plugins/

in the address bar then disable Flash. This seems to have sorted it on the big box at any rate.

I think it's the videos at the side of the page.

YIKES - I just got auto-redirected to

*Don't click*

*ADDRESS* update4.flashplayes.info/Player1/C/update-uk.php?installer=Flash_Player_11_for_Other_Browsers&browser_type=KHTML&dualoffer=false

*Don't click*

and that triggered an automatic download of some malicious pretend version of Flash Player from a site that was trying very hard to look like an Adobe page.

A couple of weeks ago I asked if anyone else was having funny flickers on the screen accompanied by the Windows /Internet Explorer page forward/backward button sound "click" - it looks a bit suspicious to me then.

I think one of the advertisers might be serving up some hot poop again [thinking of the "Android Store" updaters that plagued us a while back].

I am running MSE and Malwarebytes and there no sign of a virus.

Whatever it is also uses a vast amount of CPU - until the Flash Plugin crashes:

I'd guess ads... I don't have flash installed and no issues for me!

I had similar issues ages ago and binned Chrome off, I have been using Firefox ever since and are finding it much better, I have flash installed but blocked on several websites to speed up loading .
