    "Aw Snap" is a general error message when the browser's renderer crashes. There
    are several reasons why the renderer could crash that are communicated with this
    error. While you and somebody else may see the same "Aw Snap" error, it could be
    caused by completely different things.As such, it's important to provide as much detail as possible about your
    situation to prescribe the right diagnosis. This article provides common
    scenarios and instructions to rectify the error:http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin...

Try this one. right-click on the Google Chrome icon and click Properties. Then go to the Target box and add --no-sandbox after the target and click OK.

For example, if it shows the following in the target box:

C:\Documents and Settings\Rodietom\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

it should look like the following after adding --no-sandbox to it..

C:\Documents and Settings\Rodietom\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --no-sandbox

if the above does not work and you are using symantec endpoint, you may want to check the following: http://techie-buzz.com/tips-and-tricks/fix-for-aw-snap-error-in-google-chrome-reader-recommendation.html

let us know how it goes for you.

Google chrome keeps going snap why?

"Aw, Snap!" IssueYou may see the "Aw, Snap!" message if a webpage crashes unexpectedly.
SolutionsIf a webpage crashes unexpectedly, you can simply reload the page. If you're seeing the "Aw, Snap!" message for every page you visit, try the solutions below:

Some anti-virus or firewall applications, such as Symantec Endpoint Protection, can prevent Google Chrome from working properly. Test whether such applications on your computer are causing the error by turning them off temporarily. Then try opening Google Chrome again. If you are able to open the browser, you'll need to create an exception in your anti-virus or firewall settings for Google Chrome. Once you've done so, you can then re-enable the applications.
Conflicting applications that users have reported include the following:
  • Spyware Doctor
  • Comodo firewall
  • McAfee Enterprise
  • McAfee Virus Scan
Try disabling your extensions one by one to see if a particular extension is causing the problem.
  1. Click the wrench icon chrome_toolsmenu.gif on the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Tools.
  3. Select Extensions.
  4. On the Extensions page, click Disable for the extension you'd like to temporarily remove.
Go back to your list of extensions at any time to re-enable disabled extensions. You may need to refresh the page in order to use extensions you've re-enabled.

If the browser continues to display the "Aw, Snap!" message, your user profile may be corrupted.
To create a new user profile, follow these steps:
  1. Exit Chrome.
  2. Find the "Default" folder. It's usually located in the following locations:

    Windows

    • Windows XP: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\User Data\
    • Windows Vista and Windows 7: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\

    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default

    Linux: ~/.config/google-chrome/Default

  3. Rename the folder as "Backup default."
  4. Restart Chrome.
