Recent upgrade to V14.04 apparently has some problems.
"chromium-browser" in a bash shell generates the following errors:

The black area on the left of the screenshot is the chromium-browser display.
How do make the NVidia 8400GT graphics card DRI2 capable?

Take a look at this list of startup switches for Chromium. Does it help if you use any of those that disable hardware accelerated rendering?

The --disable-gpu command-line switch corrects whatever is ailing the chromium-browser
