So my computer isn't exactly low spec (i5 2500, GTX 550Ti, 8GB DDR3), but I've been having this problem where the OS becomes unresponsive (i.e. a couple of seconds delay between clicking something and getting a response) sometimes when a tab crashes in Chrome.
This last time when it happened the OS didn't even pick up that Chrome had crashed, Chrome itself decided (after a couple of minutes of frustration) to close the crashed tabs.
The weird part is that there doesn't seem to be any reason for it to freeze. When everything was frozen I was still only using 70% of 1 CPU core (and 1-5% of the other 3). I'd try to get more details, but it's a little hard to do anything when it freezes (the CPU values I got from Rainmeter on my desktop).
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know the cause and/or a fix?

Can you disable plug ins in chrome? If dissable all, then enable one at a time. It sounds like a plug in is causing the problem.

Is there anything in the event viewer that coensides with the crash?

The problem with disabling plugins is that it happens randomly for apparently no reason (i.e. I don't know the reason and so can't predict it), so I can't just test it (and it could take weeks to test each plugin by waiting for a crash to happen).
Here's the plugins list just in case I have a plugin that is known to crash.

Flash , Shockwave are the two most common crashes in chrome or any browser. Personally when my chrome crashes it only kills flash/shockwave plug in and leaves everything alone. Try disabling flash and see if chrome still crashes.
