Google Chrome Causes My Mac Mini to Lose All Connection

Every time I try to run Google Chrome on macOS Ventura 13.6 on my Mac mini with 32GB Ram and 2TB storage that I just received yesterday (so yes I know it's not apple's fault), my Mac's HDMI port absolutely crashes and I'm left with a no signal notification on my monitor until I unplug my monitor and plug it back in. It then proceeds to work for about 5 seconds again before the monitor loses all connection with the Mac once again. I thought it was a serious issue with my monitor because there's been a few times where it's gone out before, but only when a cord is loose, like normal. This however, was all out, absolute HDMI failure with no audio, video, nothing to show that it's being recognized at all. I need some serious help and with a problem this concerning I can't be the only one. My Dad recently got a Mac mini for his work as well and was having the same issue and also realized it was Chrome. Any suggestions besides downloading and redownloading Chrome? I have the latest version of everything; I made sure to check.

Mac mini, macOS 13.6

Sure. Use a different chromium based browser such as Brave.
