I assume it was a Russian attack at first.  It all happened after one of Google's updates.  I then just unplugged the chrome book and powered it off.  Then I started the chrome book up again and plugged it into a power source and the entire thing was resolved.  
I also notice that Slackware 15 had locked up twice on me after my 1st boot on a different laptop and the same kind of thing had to be done over there too.
