   You've given us very little info with which to help. But...   
      
   Are you running the NVidia closed-source driver or the open source   
   driver?   
      
   If closed-source driver, then try the open source driver.

   Hmm... How much RAM?   
      
   Chrome is a known memory hog, and if you have no swap, then anytime   
   chrome trys to grow beyond the free memory left in the system's ram   
   after everything else that is loaded, things will go bad very fast.
