I build Google Chrome from extra.
But since a few versions ago Google Chrome crashes without reason!
Where and how I can track the reason of this issue?

This is a script to repackage a Debian/Ubuntu Google Chrome .deb package
for Slackware. Run this script in the same directory as one of these
binary packages:
google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb (for 64-bit x86_64)
google-chrome-stable_current_i386.deb (for 32-bit x86)
This will create a Slackware .txz package. Install it with installpkg
or use upgradepkg to upgrade from a previous version.

how have you installed the nvidia drivers? probably the culprit is there.
I just tried google-chrome-26.0.1410.43-x86_64 with the nvidia drivers 313.26 and it's working fine here.
some questions, trying to understand:
- which slackware version are you using?
- it's a full installation?
- which desktop environment?
- are you using a customized ~/.xinitrc?
