Affecting Chrome and Chromium on Xtahr (the best puppy). Affects all versions i've tried, from the 30's to the 60's.
after i open a few tabs, my screen goes black. But i can tell puppy is still running-- if i hit my computer hard power-button, i hear the shutdown-bark, and puppy does a normal shutdown. I just can't see anything.
this might happen when i open a gmail tab, unsure.
plenty of room in my save file. 1.5 GB free RAM. Doesn't happen with any other programs (currently running Mozilla Light 2 windows, 20 tabs). Doesn't affect any other OS (no probs on Mint or Win).
how to fix?
thx

This is one fix that helped someone:
If you do a Google search for Chrome screen goes black Linux all kinds of info pops up about this issue.Fixed the 100% black Google Chrome issue.
Here is what worked for me...
1. Unpin Chrome icon from task bar so it is on the desktop.
2. Right mouse click on said icon and left click on Properties.
3. Click on Shortcuts tab
4A. In Target window, add this exact text: [space]--disable-gpu"
4B. The end of the text string in the Target window should now read: ...chrome.exe" --disable-gpu"
5. Double click on the desktop icon and Chrome should open correctly. If you want, you may pin this icon to the taskbar.
6. Left single click on the "Customize" icon in the top right, which is the 3 horizontal lines icon. Select "Settings" from the list.
7. Select "Show advanced settings..." at the bottom.
8. Deselect "Use hardware acceleration when available."
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.
