Not sure why but so far the only program that's crashing it is Google Chrome. So I'm going to uninstall it and try out Microsoft Edge instead.

Chrome uses a lot of RAM Yeah I seen that before whenever I would open up Task Manager. My friends on Discord are telling me to get Opera. I'll download it for a backup and finally delete IE lol

MooseNuggetChrome does eat up RAM but, depending on what you do and how many tabs you have open at any given time, 8GB of RAM should be 'good enough'. but if you only got 4GB (or less) I suggest trying a alternative like Firefox etc as it's a bit more RAM friendly. personally Firefox has been my all around favorite for a long time now. I never liked Chrome much especially since I tend to have plenty of tabs open and leave my browser running for at least days, if not weeks, at a time. I have Chrome installed but only as a backup browser as I figure it's nice to keep around since it's pretty much the standard for web browsers since it's got the largest market share hands down at 67.66%. but anyways... with Chrome, you could try clearing the browser cache and remove any extensions etc you don't use and see if that helps Chrome a bit. p.s. based on market share here is how each browser ranks on Windows.. 1)Chrome (67.66%) 2)Firefox (8.68%) 3)Internet Explorer (7.11%) 4)Edge (5.98%). pretty much all others are lower than 2%. my advice... choose either Chrome or Firefox as your primary browser. IE is generally the least secure browser anyways so it's a good idea to avoid that one regardless of which ever alternative you use be it Chrome/Firefox/Edge etc.

Looks like Windows isn't letting me delete it.

MooseNuggetYeah, the last I checked one can't remove IE. but that's probably a good thing because if one accidentally deletes the only browser installed that would be a problem since you could not download stuff online etc
