internet browsers "crashing"?

Well, I have this issue where I'd get a message that states that the browser has crashed while I'm still using with full functionality (excluding the fact that Firefox does not let me log into yahoo. Using Chrome)

Cleared cookies, cache, temp files. Rebooted, updated Flash Player, cleaned disk. That's what I can remember off the top of my head.

    * Run Reginout scan for active-x, file associations and other registry errors largely behind such crashes. http://www.filetransit.com/download.php?id=79029

    * Try to uninstall the current flash player version. (Read this official guide to uninstall flash plugin: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html

    * Use official uninstaller tool to remove all flash elements from your computer.

    * After completing the above task download flash player 9 instead of the latest version. However, latest version is preferred. for latest version visit this link: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

    Sometimes there are intricate browser flash conflicts and changing the versions is often helpful.

    * if you are having problems while installing flash then read this stuff:

    * Update your sound drivers if possible since the videos may simply crash or freeze because of the corrupted or missing drivers.

    1) Open Device Manager

    2) Find the sound-card device

    3) Remember the name of the device

    4) Uninstall it.

    5) After doing this restart your system and update the drivers if they are not automatically updated.

    Computers crash in most cases for registry problems. When you first buy your computer and bring it home it runs at optimum speed, but over time the registry becomes overloaded with unnecessary files and programs. Some of these files become corrupt and problems develop such as the computer crashing.You can fix these current computer crashes by running a registry cleaners.I should like to commend Registry Easy http://absolutely-clean-up-pc-errors.com/ to you !
