  • Might be an issue with your browser's flash plugin or an extension you have. Please provide more details on what flash plugin you're using (including version information) and any extensions that you might have. Visit `chrome://plugins/` to see said information. – Alex Mar 02 '14 at 17:53

  • I'm seeing the same thing on a mac (osx high sierra). – SMBiggs Feb 10 '18 at 08:17

For whatever it might be worth. The white screen of death as I call it, is due to Chrome trying to use hardware acceleration. Go to chrome://settings/ (type it in the address bar) and show advanced settings. Under System, uncheck "use hardware acceleration when available" and then restart. Good luck.
