ccleaner freezes when trying to clean google chrome cache

hi, my laptop has been freezing and locking up lately more and more, especially while watching videos. I dled ccleaner to try to help it out a bit. every time I try to run the cleaner, it freezes at "google chrome internet cache" and becomes unresponsive so that I have to hold down the power button to turn it off. help! my computer has crashed about ten times today and it's really bumming me out. windows 7 home premium 64-bit SP 1 intel core i3-2350m cpu @ 2.3 ghz, 6.0 ram thank you for any suggestions. sent from my tiny internet
