You are probably using an AMD ATI graphics card  If so go to Catalyst Control Centre and switch Chrome to use only the Intel HD graphics  power saving   It is a problem with Chrome 18 and it is being fixed shortly  as advised by google six hours before this post   It fixed after switched the graphics card in Catalyst  then restarted the computer

For Ubuntu users - Instead of changing the settings within the Chrome browser  which risks propagating them to other machines that do not have that issue  it is best to just edit the  desktop launcher   Open the appropriate file for your situation    usr share applications google-chrome desktop  usr share applications chromium-browser desktop   Just append the flag  -disable-gpu  to the end of the three Exec  lines in your file       Exec  usr bin google-chrome-stable  U -disable-gpu     Exec  usr bin google-chrome-stable -disable-gpu     Exec  usr bin google-chrome-stable --incognito -disable-gpu

I had the same problem  on Ubuntu though  started just over a month ago  What did it for me was to revert my Nvidia driver back to its stable version  I ve been using the alleged unstable version for a couple of months now    Anyway  it s worth a shot  Open  System Settings  and under the  Hardware Tab  go to  Additional Drivers   You should see on the list a driver called   Nvidia Binary Xorg Driver     - activate it   Hope this helps to Ubuntu users out there

I still experience occasional black screens with latest Chrome 60 with GPU acceleration enabled by default  probably caused by lack of free memory for numerous tabs    Sometimes it helps to kill GPU process in builtin Task manager  Shift Esc  as  amit suggests  But sometimes this forces more Chrome windows to become black while some others may remain normal   I ve noticed that tabs headers and address bar of black windows remain funtional and tabs can be fully repaired just by dragging them out of black windows  But it s too tedious to do this one by one when their number is huge   So here is quick completely restartless solution inspired by Merging windows of Google Chrome    Add a new empty tab to black window  Ctrl T  Left-click the first tab in the window Then hold the Shift key and left-click the right most tab just before the empty one Drag all the selected tabs at once out of the black window Close the black window with remaining single empty tab
