Immediate crash when playing video

Reported by ian.e...@gmail.com, Feb 24 2018

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.186 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Navigate to most any page which plays video, ex. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H-cPu_3Ukk
2. The entire browser crashes.

What is the expected behavior?
The browser should not crash.

What went wrong?
Something I upgraded caused the issue, but I'm not sure what.  I'm on normal Debian stable, with the stable Chrome.  This problem isn't happening on other machines, including ones with the same hardware/software versions.  But this one machine consistently crashes.  Crashes continue after a reboot.

The following error is printed on stdout:

"Trace/breakpoint trap"

I turned on crash reporting, but no crashes are recorded in chrome://crashes

Issue persists after creating a new, empty profile.

Crashed report ID: 

How much crashed? Whole browser

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? Yes For sure on 63.0.3239.132-1

Chrome version: 64.0.3282.186  Channel: stable
OS Version: Debian 9.3 "Stretch"
Flash Version: 

Happy to help debug if there are steps I can take to produce a core dump or other artifact.

Yes, I enabled crash reporting.  No crash report is generated.

Does anything else behave differently on that machine? Given you see the issue on a single machine it seems highly likely it's an issue with the hardware or software outside of Chrome.

Assigning CrashReporting component as they should understand how the entire browser can crash without a report.

The only other issue I've had is KiCad crashing due to a bug in the Intel video driver with HiDPI displays.  That crashes my entire X session, though, not just KiCad;  so it seems unlikely to be related.

Pages which reliably crash Chrome work fine in Firefox or Gnome Web.

Is there some way I can capture a crash dump?  I tried using strace, but the multi-process architecture of Chrome made that difficult.

Another system with similar hardware/software has started exhibiting this behavior.  It was working fine Thursday afternoon.  I powered it off, and left it off until this morning.  After booting the machine, I observed that Chrome was crashing on several pages with the same error.  The only change between Chrome working and crashing was restarting the machine.

It crashes on many different pages, but playing video is the most reliable way to trigger it.

Both machines are HP Z2 Minis with Intel i7-6700 CPUs, running a recent version of Debian Stretch.  They have HD Graphics 530 onboard video, and are running kernel "4.9.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.82-1+deb9u3 (2018-03-02) x86_64 GNU/Linux"

What can I do to log the crash in some way that's helpful for you?  As it stands, I have had to switch browsers.

Unable to reproduce the issue on Debian Rodate Cinnamon 3.4.6 using chrome reported version-64.0.3282.186 & Canary-	67.0.3362.0 as per the above steps.

No browser crash observed when we navigate to "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H-cPu_3Ukk" & able to play video successfully.

This issue might be Driver / Debian Stretch specific issue.
Could you please uninstall & reinstall chrome & check the issue with clean profile & let us know your observations on the same.

Thanks..!
