Chrome closing by itself and sometimes not starting at all. [closed]

Sometimes it can kind of starts, but as soon as I type ANYTHING into the URL bar, the window closes, no crash, no errors that I know of, it simply closes. Other times it doesn't even open. I really have no idea what could be going on, and I'm sorry I can't provide more help, but I really want to get Chrome back, and Firefox makes me want to tear my hair out with the way it renders some pages and how it operates.

Install Chromium from the Software Center and it should work fine. If you installed chrome from the SC, download the deb from the install site. Make sure it is 32 bit or 64 bit just like your system.

I found that the root cause was that there was absolutely no space on the root drive, so chrome was crashing because it could not write to its cache, and that was why some other programs started acting funny, I cleared out some old files on that drive and the issue resolved itself, sorry for the noob mistake...
