Chrome Troubleshooting
1] Disable Unnecessary Chrome Extensions
Most of the Chrome users make use of extensions. It is possible that one of these extensions is causing trouble for you. For some reason, they might be interrupting the connection. While you can disable all of them at once, but I will suggest do it one by one, and see which one is causing the problem.
Launch Chrome, and type chrome://extensions in the address and hit Enter.This will show you all listed extension installed in Chrome.Disable each of them(Toggle off), and restart Chrome to check if the issue is fixed.

Run Chrome browser’s built-in Chrome’s Malware Scanner & Cleanup Tool. It helps you remove unwanted ads, pop-ups & malware, Unusual Startup pages, toolbar, and anything else that spoils the experience by crashing websites by overloading the pages with memory request.
