Google Chrome Black Screen OR Window FIX & Why It Happens

#chromefix #chromeblackscreen #pcfixes #unboxfam
How to FIX the Black screen errors in Google Chrome and why they are happening.
If this doesn't work, try this: • Google Chrome Browser ...
The problem with Google Chrome having either a completely black screen or a partial black screen or even a flickering black screen when opening tabs, is normally caused by either corrupted extensions (not very likely) or a corrupted video driver (very common)
Chrome uses your computers graphics card to render the web pages quicker and to take some of the strain off of the main system and CPU.
Most modern multi core systems can easily cope with the demands of the rendering of web pages and content without using the GPU so disabling the hardware assistance or GPU is a quick and dirt fix to the problem.
The root of the problem is still there and may resolve itself over time with program updates and new vga drivers (if set to automatically update) but the reality is that you probably need to remove and re-install your graphics card drivers.
Quite often this problem will arise when a Windows Update or new graphics card is installed, although other apps and games etc will run fine but the rendering subsystem is borked!
You can use the brilliant DDU Display driver uninstaller to clean out your video drivers www.guru3d.com/files-get/disp...
or
www.guru3d.com/files-details/...
And then when it has done it's thing you can re-install the latest versions for your specific video card.

I bought another temporary pc thinking it would replace my old one and unfortunately it was fine but could not run games well. So I have bought another one and it’s having the same sort of flickering issue and very choppy scrolling on google chrome. Please help me I’m panicking and my anxiety is through the roof

    Hey Mike, how do your instructions change if the black screen happens, on video-playing-screen only, with dual monitor set up? Initially, I changed my refresh rate and the black screen stopped, but now it's back. Thanks so much. Also, if I move the video to the non-main screen, videos seem to then play fine.

    My chrome is actually partially black, the black shapes, but with a white background. I can still see my mouse turns to a pointing finger wherever i move it. I tried to Ctrl+h and it seems that black screen is invading, like there's some text but rather than to be black screen. the last i did to the chrome before this happen was to sync my google account with another device to the chrome. And after, black shapes are appearing right in the link bar, but the menu is still there though, and I tried to search google.com and i can't see the search bar or the logo, i followed the steps but nothing happens. Is my laptop the issue?

    This is happening on my chromebook but it appears to be an issue with chrome. Even if I quite chrome (the app) the entire chromebook screen goes black for a couple seconds and comes back on with chrome (the app) back up and running but with an error message (did not shut down properly, restore pages?). I can't even try any of your fixes b/c the entire screen turns black so fast I can't get to the settings. Interestingly enough, of the 3 logins on the chromebook it only happens in one of them. Thanks for any suggestions, PLEASE!!

    Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to check my reply below, by deleting the login altogether then adding it back everything works. It was definitely an issue w chrome (the app) and something I’ve never experienced where it blacked out the entire screen not just the chrome window. Obviously the mobile OS works differently than windows but a very weird issue to effect the entire screen.
