Chromium browser regularly crashes and renders all windows, tabs as a black box

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Right click or entering a text in search space crashes the browser
  • Chromium appears to work well for a short period, but will then crash leaving all windows and tabs with the canvas part of the windows rendered black
  • Can still see the menu and the tab section - just the area where the web pages are rendered goes black.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
  • Chromium browser
