# v0 crashes in Chrome with error code 5 when using Next Image

## Problem
I find `v0` crashes A LOT and Chrome always just says:

> **Aw Snap! Error code: 5**

It happens very frequently on one of my projects, sometimes on others.

## Suspected Cause
I suspect it might be `Next Image` or images in general causing memory issues. I’m not loading a ton of images and they are all pre-compressed, so it's not like I’m loading up 20MB of raw image files.

## Questions
- How can I debug this?
- How can I prevent `v0` from crashing?

`v0` is not even usable. I’m paying for something that... is... not... usable.

Oh and let me add that it immediately crashes upon load so there’s no fragile work around.

Let me also add that i have turned off all extensions, i use a M2 Max Mac Studio with 96 GB of memory… so this should not be some sort of hardware limitation causing chrome to run out of memory.
