What are you system hardware specifications (CPU, RAM)? Older hardware may find it harder to cope with a modern browser.

Open the Extensions manager to see what extensions you have installed/running.
chrome://extensions/

For more details, use chrome://memory-redirect/

@Malware Test - For Chrome's own Task Manager it's, (Shift+Esc)

@conred55 Could you use the Print Screen (Prt Scr) option found on the keyboard? The photos you have attached are blurred.

Well Google Chrome is using multi processes to share the resources equally as possible to avoid crashing problems. Having high RAM deals on the number of tabs you use and extensions you installed,since you mentioned about 2GB as capacity; therefore just minimize the workload you have. :)
