Black Screens

Post by bxbluesman »

Every search results in a black screen. I've cleared cache, run antimalware, uninstalled and reinstalled Iron. Same problem. Chrome and FF are working fine. I downloaded Comodo and the same problem exists there. Seems the problem is with Chromium based Browsers, but not with Chrome itself. Any suggestions?

never have such an issue

are you using adblock.ini ?
if you go in tools, developer tools, open console
do you see some errors ?

what extensions are you using ?

did you try to create a new profile ?

(replace Google\Chrome with Chromium )

hello
I have the same issue, tried to reinstall, create a new profile, delete the whole chromium folder.
When I try to open the console it's black too.
I'm using the following extensions: FB Photo Zoom and Google Mail Offline.
Now I tried CoolNovo (which is also Chromium) and it works, but its not as fast as iron.

another try (parameters you can add to the chrome launch shortcut):

1. Run chrome with --disable-gpu-sandbox
2. Run chrome with both --disable-gpu-sandbox and --disable-image-transport-surface
