Process Crash During Cypress Test Execution

[Tomoppenheimer]

Test code to reproduce

The Chrome Renderer process crashes with the error message "Aw, Snap! Something went wrong while displaying this webpage," along with an error code of STATUS_BREAKPOINT. Attached are screenshots of the issue for your reference:

From the logs, I noticed the following suggestions:
Increase CPU/memory resources on the machine.
Enable experimentalMemoryManagement in the Cypress configuration file.
Lower the numTestsKeptInMemory value during cypress open.

Despite attempting some of these solutions, the issue persists intermittently, particularly during some specific tests.
Here is some additional context about my setup:
Cypress version: 13.16.1 (issue occurs also in version 13.17.0)
Browser: [Chrome version131]

@Tomoppenheimer Could you provide a reproducible example? If so, please add it to this issue, which this is a duplicate of #27415

These are hard to track down honestly because it could be a number of causes including the application under test having a memory leak itself.
