Basically the same thing happened to me. A few month's back I upgraded from ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04 and I think that is when I got the newer firefox and chrome. On my linux system the firefox became very unstable and hung the system every several days. So I started using chrome exclusively. Then chrome started crapping things. Always getting flash crashed or page script is in lala land messages. A good part of it was the /etc/sysctrl.conf Another layer of whatever has been added to linux. It seems part if not most of the problem was my swapiness setting arghhhh.... I came accross Tales from responsivenessland: why Linux feels slow, and how to fix that rudd-o.com It is a short clear explanation of the problem and where you fix it. A rare web page. I just got a 256 gig ssd to put in the my u14.4 system. Supposedly it will triple to quad the perceived speed of the system. Anyway when the CPU goes to 99.99% and it seems asleep, I have a root login on ctrl alt F2 where I switch and killall chrome. eventually the system comes back. I am logged in as the system is so slow you cannot login as the login times out. this will give you your top20 cpu hog processes ptop120: aliased to ps au \|head -1;ps au \| sort -r -n -k 3 \| head -20 \|cut -c"1-120" the first ps is to give headers at top as sort will displace them.
