Looks like the issue might be related to the X.org  nouveau drivers. Once I switched to the nvidia proprietary drivers the issue went away. something in chrome triggered the issue last month and the last week in chromium

If it's a driver issue maybe we need to look at blacklisting something.

nouveau drivers are known to be unstable. We've decided to let adventurous users to play with it at their own risk

I was not given a choice of what to use so it was an adventure. Had the OS for years and never had an issue until a OS  upgrade.
