I downgraded chromium from the current 38 version to the 34.0.1847.116 Built on Ubuntu 14.04, running on LinuxMint 17 aura (260972). It was available from the official repositories selecting the option to force version in synaptic.
Since I made it, I never experienced the gpu hang again.
PS: I'm running Linux Mint 17. On previous versions this bug didn't exist.
