We know using GPU or the hardware acceleration when available, the browser performance can be increased and page content load faster, but to avoid black screen till Google fixes the issue you need to disable hardware acceleration in Chrome browser.

You can see few users reporting about the issue in this bug which was fixed in 2013. BTW, are you affected?

UPDATE: Follow this bug, seems the issue doesn’t exist for me on Chrome 62 beta and Chrome 63 dev. I am on Windows 10 version 1703 with latest CU installed.

If you’re affected, try creating a new profile for Google Chrome or reset Chrome to see if that fixes the problem. Ensure your Windows and drivers are up-to-date.

Meanwhile, Intel is investigating this issue (follow this thread) as most users reported were using Intel graphic drivers.
