You are presumably using the i915 driver for the integrated video, and I bet it has something to do with this bug:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58381
Since the "freezing" is a kernel panic. Try:
grep i915_hangcheck_hung /var/log/*
And see what turns up. You might try turning off "use hardware acceleration when available" in chrome (under "Advanced Settings...System").
There's also a suggestion here (the above bug seems to be considered a duplicate of this one, but the one above has a better initial report involving chrome) to try this:
echo 0 | sudo dd of=/sys/module/i915/parameters/semaphores
If you do that su root it is a bit simpler:
echo 0 > /sys/module/i915/parameters/semaphores
Beware that the files in /sys are not real files on disk -- sysfs is a kernel interface. Reading a file is a request for live information from the kernel, and writing to a file is a live request to set a parameter. So this is not a permanent configuration that will persist across re-boots. You could include the echo command in a boot script, or add a kernel command line parameter in your grub.conf, as per the second bug report link:
i915.semaphores=0
Which will set that parameter at boot.
