That could probably be the reason.why????

That's pretty normal for google chrome. Browsers use a lot of memory, especially when you have multiple tabs open. Your problem is probably due to lack of physical RAM since you only have 4gb. Any other signs, like in the CPU tab that might help?

Yeah... like serialband said: either upgrade your RAM... or get an adblocker and keep fewer tabs open.
