Uninstalling and re-installing your favourite Google Chrome browser is one of the powerful fix to the problem but might also result in loss of your data stores in the browser with some lovely extensions, databases and others. I personally recommend Revo uninstaller pro which will uninstall program from your computer completely and won’t let any traces to be left in the PC. Try complete uninstall using the program, restart your computer, download fresh installation file and you might end up surfing internet from Google Chrome browser.

But in the process, it might just fail to completely update itself, mess things up and end-up nowhere, not in the previous version and also not in the newer version. This may give you headaches as now the browser won’t even load up. Best solution to this problem is complete uninstalling and re-installing fresh newer version of the application.
