Will changing the priority class of google chrome cause unwanted errors to my computer?

Everytime i try to change the priority of ggogle chrome a window pops up saying Warning: Changing the priority class may result in system instability and may cause unwanted featuresWill changing the priority class of google chrome cause unwanted errors to my computer?Changing a prirority class may cause system instability in some cases. It only takes effect when your CPU is running at 100% of its power. This means that system will process your browser first, and only then it will process system processes.

When your CPU is not loaded on 100%, this setting does not take effect. When your CPU is loaded on 100% with browser priority set to higher than normal, your system might become instable and even crash. I would not advise changing browser priority class to higher than normal.

You could use changing priorities when you don't want some application that is loading the system heavily to take all of your resources. You could lower its priority class in this case.
