This used to happen on previous versions sporadically on flash sites due to Chrome's built in pepper flash player and the NSAPI one installed for firefox being both recognized and enabled, but now it's completely unusable so I'm reverting to an older version.  Trying to isolate this I discovered that if I pulled my nVidia cards that we use and use the onboard video it doesn't crash.  I also applied all available yum patches including kernel/nv driver but still happens.

Try installing google-chrome-beta or google-chrome-unstable

If you're using the proprietary driver I don't think you will receive 
any attention.
Just a guess.
