A recent Chrome update shipped with a bug that damages the file system on MacOS machines with System Integrity Protection (SIP) disabled, including machines that do not support SIP. The bug affects MacOSX 10.10 and older. Symptoms include that the Admin account can no longer be accessed, with reboot halting and shutting down the computer.
