Clicking on link took over PC - had to do hard shutdown

Reported by ianfarbr...@yahoo.com, Apr 30 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to http://www.marketsmith.com/
2. Click on the PRODUCTS tab in the top menu bar
3. 

What is the expected behavior?
See whatever their products are!

What went wrong?
My PC got taken over - nothing worked, and it shut down the monitor. Ctrl-Alt-Del failed to work. Had to do a hard shutdown (power off).

Fortunately, the PC restarted ok. Quick Scan on Norton didn't find anything. On restarting Chrome, it showed me the 'didn't shut down properly, do you want to restore Tabs' dialog. I'm SURE that I clicked the Restore button - but nothing restored.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.94  Channel: stable
OS Version: 8.1
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0.0.216

For obvious reasons, I haven't tried reproducing this a second time! Also, this is the second time in recent months that something from the web totally managed to take over Chrome, although the first time it didn't shut down the whole machine. Very disturbing !!!
 
Btw - I wasn't sure whether this should perhaps go under the Crashes section. In any case, because I had to do a hard shutdown manually, there didn't appear to be any data in the crash logs.

Unable to reproduce the issue on chrome stable version 50.0.2661.94 on Windows 8.1, Windows 7, Windows 10. navigated to the products section of the above provided site and chrome did not get stuck nor the system crashed.

@ ianfarbrother: Request you to please reset your chrome from chrome://settings and try again. Please navigate to chrome://crashes and help us with a crash ID if chrome crashes. Please update us with your observations.

Thanks.!
