It’s unclear to me what you’re running exactly in the Chrome browser, but you’re on an Intel GPU, so the best thing to do is to try out another kernel as the Intel GPU modules are built into the kernel.
As you’re on a rather old processor 4.19 and 5.4 (both LTS) come to mind first:
-
Print this page so you have it as a reference while in TTY2
-
Log off
-
Switch to TTY2 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2
-
Log in there
-
Execute:
sudo mhwd-kernel --install linux419 sudo mhwd-kernel --install linux54 -
to ensure grub is showing, execute:
sudo nano --backup /etc/default/grub -
Change (or add?) the following 3 lines:
GRUB_TIMEOUT=3 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 #GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=hidden(3 or higher is fine, add the # before the lines above if those lines are present)
-
Ctrl+X Y Enter to save if there is anything to save
-
If you did save, execute:
sudo update-grub -
Reboot
-
Go to grub’s Advanced options
-
Choose these kernels one by one and try them out one by one and see if that helps.
