I have been running Chrome on Windows 7 for a couple of months now with no significant troubles.

Today, I noticed that my resource monitor was showing 99% of RAM in use. While the task manager didn't show this memory to be committed to running chrome.exe, when I force exited my memory situation went back to normal.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled twice, to no avail. When chrome opens, the resource monitor shows the RAM usage climbing steadily, until all my RAM is being used. When I force exit, it returns to normal, but then when I reopen Chrome it returns to 99%.

Also, I've noticed two other things. A) the bookmarked icons in my bookmark bar are all white rectangles now; and B) i cannot clear browsing history, chrome just locks up.

Does this sound like a Chrome issue, a Windows 7 problem, a virus? I have run McAfee on my whole computer and found nothing.
Any suggestions would be good, Thanks

Yes. I'm having this problem too! I have 4GB of RAM and it eats up RAM like there's no tomorrow?

Possible memory leak perhaps?

I also face this type of problems give any solution.
