Here are three which most recently plagued Google Chrome



about:blank - Chrome Crash: Basically what happened here is whenever you would go to open Google Chrome, it would open an about:blank page and the application would hang and crash, rendering it useless.



Fix: This could be fixed by running Google Chrome in sandbox mode



Slow Webpage: This was a problem which was caused during the update of HTML5, where users reported slow webpage loading times.



This could be fixed by going into incognito mode.



Green and Yellow Boxes Graphic Glitch:This is the most recent and widespread problem in Chrome, where webpages randomly glitch into yellow and red and green boxes.



Fix: There was a temporary fix by switching tabs, however, this was not a permanent fix as the boxes came back later. As of today, there is not fix, but Google reports it is working on one.



Here are a couple of links of the Green Box Graphic Glitch

404 Not Found:

The browser could not find the specific document that you requested on the host computer. To resolve this error, check the Uniform Resource Locator (URL) syntax (some URLs are case sensitive). In addition, the page may have been removed, had its name changed, or have been moved to a new location. To rise above the mundane, some have made 404 error pages a work of art - see 404 Research Lab for some creative 404 pages.



403 Forbidden/Access Denied:

The Web site you requested requires special access permission (for example a password).



503 Service Unavailable:

The host computer is too busy or the Web server which hosts the requested Web site is down.



Bad File Request:

The form or the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) code for an online form has an error.



Cannot Connect to Server:

This error can occur if you are using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) security ("https" at the beginning of the URL) when you are connecting to certain Web servers.



Cannot Add Form Submission Result to Bookmark List:

The results of a form cannot be saved as a bookmark. A bookmark must be a document or a web address.



Cipher Strength value is 0-bit:

When you click About Internet Explorer on the Help menu, the Cipher Strength value is 0-bit -and- you cannot connect to and view Web pages on secure Web sites can occur if the Schannel.dll, Rsabase.dll, or Rsaenh.dll files are missing, damaged, or of the incorrect version. See MSKB Q261328 for the fix.



Connection Reset by Peer:

This message indicates that you clicked the "Stop" button or moved on to another webpage before the server finished sending the data/page.



Connection Refused by Host:

This is a version of the 403 error. The Web site you requested requires special access permission. Or this page/site requires you to have SSL functionality not found in older browsers.



Error Copying File: Cannot copy file: File system error (1026)

This message indicates that the Temporary Internet Files folder is full. Internet Explorer downloads files to the Temporary Internet Files Folder and then copies the files to the specified location. To resolve, go to the Tools menu in Internet Explorer and select Internet Options. On the General tab, click the Delete Files button in the 'Temporary Internet Files' section. If you would like to delete content that has been stored locally, select the 'Delete all offline / subscription content' check box. Click OK and click OK again.



Failed DNS Lookup:

The Web site's URL could not be translated into a valid Internet protocol (IP) address. This error is common on commercial sites because the computers responsible for translating the IP addresses are overloaded. Try again later when there may be less Internet traffic. This can also be caused by a URL syntax error (the URL has incorrect format).



File Contains no Data:

The browser found the site, but nothing in the specific file. Try adding ":80" (without the quotation marks) to the URL just before the first slash, for example: http://www.microsoft.com:80/.



Helper Application not Found:

You have attempted to download a file that needs a helper program and your browser cannot find the program. On the browser's preferences or options menu, make sure the correct directory and file name are entered for the helper program. If you do not have a helper program, save the file to disk and obtain the helper program.
