C1_W1 Chrome crashing with live preview

Hello,

google chrome keeps crashing every time i attempt to open an html file in the browser. its the same each time wether using Web live server app, vscode, or live preview in Brackets. The browser starts glitching then goes completely black and i’m unable to use another application until i force quit chrome and relaunch it.


Hi @tfitz57

Make sure your browser version is up-to-date. Also, extensions can sometimes cause conflicts, too (open Chrome in Incognito Mode, which disables extensions by default). Clearing the browser cache can sometimes solve the issue!

Hope it helps! Feel free to ask if you need further assitance.

thanks!

tried them all but still an issue in incognito…

most of the other projects launch without any problems, it seems to only be the C1_W2_Lab_1_mnist.html file… makes me think its related to the rather large datasets…possibly a memory issue?

managed to snap a pic of the console before it froze, only shows two warnings.

There was recently an issue where Coursera was blocking large file downloads. It affected at least one of the Deep Learning Specialization courses.

Maybe that is the case here? I don’t have access to this course materials to check.

turns out it was a memory issue… after reducing the BATCH_SIZE everything working as it should!
