GPU crash dump

On my old acer extensa 5220, Chrome makes GPU hang after I watch 2-3 videos on
youtube (sometimes even with just one) while I'm seeing for example the fourth
or when I visit some website (I don't remember the name because this happens
really rarely compared to youtube); I think the common thing is the usage of
flash by youtube and the other websites (but it could be some other thing,
though).
This has been happening since 3-4 months and doesn't happen with firefox; the
GPU hang makes gnome shell crash (in particular the window manager) and altough
I can "recover" in some way the open windows before the hang, I cannot open new
application and I have almost no window manager (and no windows borders).
