Freeze/lockup while using Chrome where mouse cursor stops working

[MadLittleMods]

Sometimes, the whole computer appears to freeze but I think it's actually just my mouse stops working and Chrome freezes up. I can still press Alt + F4 and force close Chrome to get it to respond again along with my mouse working.

Saw someone mention the same symptoms here:

Basically, randomly, the mouse stops responding, but the keyboard still works, or the other way, especially modifiers, sometimes dropping presses, sometimes buffering them.

I tend to just Alt + F4 -> force close and bring it up again because it's faster than waiting. I have waited once and it did respond again after 3 minutes.

I do get other Chrome Freezes where my cursor and clicking on other programs in the task bar still works but have to close Chrome before it responds again.
