If you’re keeping lots of tabs open, 16GB is not really a lot anymore. If your demands are above-average you need to be looking at 32GB or beyond.
If Chrome is hanging up your entire computer, uninstall and reinstall it... or it may be time for a reformat if there are broader issues going on with your PC.
