Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.110 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Open Chrome 2. Normal usage (3-5 open tabs) What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Chrome freezes (few seconds up to multiple minutes, sometimes didn't recover at all). Sometimes freezes the entire desktop environment, but in most cases, all other applications continue responding. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 57.0.2987.110 Channel: stable OS Version: Fedora 25 Flash Version: Fedora 25 stock kernel, 4.9.14 (see https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/kernel). Skylake thinkpad, i5-6200U with integrated graphics and high DPI screen. Chrome respects the system DPI and scales up accordingly. No compositor running. Troubleshooting steps that did not resolve the issue: * Disabling GPU rasterization, but leaving GPU rendering enabled * --force-device-scale-factor=1 * Upgrading kernel to rawhide (4.11-rc2) Issue is perfectly reproducible on my machine. No messages in the debug log when it happens, no CPU spike, just hangs. Issue does not occur for me when either * The GPU process is disabled (still hangs for <1s from time to time, but that might very well be unrelated but I wouldn't rule it out) * The internal screen is disabled and two external monitors are used instead (both with xrandr --scale 1.5x1.5, may or may not be relevant), even with GPU rendering and rasterization enabled.

Tested in chrome # 57.0.2987.110 and Canary #59.0.3046.0 on Fedora 23 & 24 and not able to reproduce the issue.Please find the screen cast for your reference. @ leoschabel: Could you please let me know if i have missed anything and if possible, please create new profile without extensions and apps.Re-check once and let us know the observation of the issue which would help us to triage the issue further. Thanks in Advance.

Thank you! I tried it with a clean Fedora 25 install, wasn't able to reproduce it and narrowed it down to the following set of custom, non-default kernel options that I had set: i915.enable_psr=1 i915.semaphores=1 i915.enable_fbc=1 nohz_full=1 Removing those solved the issue, but increased baseline power usage by ~2W. Since those are commonly recommended for power saving (and maybe even set by power management scripts), it might explain why other users are affected. I'm a bit short on time right now so I wasn't able to investigate further, I'll check which of these four is the culprit as soon as possible. I used those same options all the way back to F23 so it's probably a recent regression.
