Two questions and a suggestion: 1. How much memory do the machines have? 2. Can you run chrome from the command line and post what gets put into stdout/stderr? Suggestion: See if you can get Chromium to start on a fresh profile (move the data folder in the home directory out of the way so it's like starting from fresh -- there may be a command line switch for that, not sure). That would rule out a problem with any add-ons that might be making this worse.
