It looks like using Nvidia on this laptop is optional. I wonder; can you
please uninstall the Nvidia driver and then tell us if the problem still
occurs?
If so, then please run:
dpkg -l > allpackages.txt
and attach the resulting file 'allpackages.txt'.

Title:
[nvidia] Xorg suddenly starts to consume 100% CPU, apparently
triggered by Chrome
Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-340 package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I navigated to a website in Chrome (linledIn.com) and both Chrome and
Xorg started consuming around 100% CPU each (one was actually
significantly above 100% but I can't remember which one).
Then I closed Chrome entirely (and I check there was no Chrome process
left), but Xorg kept consuming around 100% CPU. No other process was.
I closed all applications I had opened, but nothing stopped Xorg from
consuming around 100% CPU while nobody was doing nothing. I had to
kill Xorg.
It might have been a complete coincidence that Xorg's crazy CPU usage
started when I opened that website in Chrome, or it might actually
have been caused by it, even by a bug in Chrome. But even if that is
the case, if an application can cause Xorg to consume 100% CPU and
then not stop even after the application has been closed, that is a
bug in Xorg.
Also, something quite similar happens to me very often:
sometimes I open Google Maps in Chrome and (not every time, far from it), the
same as described above happens, that is, both Chrome and Xorg start consuming
a lot of CPU. However, in those cases, usually when I close Chrome, Xorg's CPU
consumptions goes back to normal (and then I'm able to reopen Chrome and
everything works normally).
This was the first time that Xorg's abnormal CPU consumption persisted after
closing Chrome which seemed to have triggered it.
I'm not sure whether the two cases are actually caused by the same issue or
not.
I know I'm providing little information but this is all I have.
Note that the issue is critical.
