So I have this problem that whenever I try to search something from google chrome as soon as I type a letter my screen goes off but only the graphics are gone the screen and all the other things work. And when I put it in sleep mode and open it again it goes back to normal. How do I fix this issue with Google Chrome?

Try this and see if it works for you...

1. Unpin the "Chrome" icon from your task bar, so it is then on the desktop.

2. Right-click on the now on the desktop "Chrome" icon and then click "Properties" from the popup list.

3. Now click on the "Shortcuts" tab and type in this text, including the spaces and the quote marks. " ---disable-gpu"

3a. The end of the text string in the Target window should now read: ...chrome.exe" --disable-gpu"

4. Now double click on the "Chrome" desktop icon and it should open correctly. Should you wish, you can now repin it to the task bar.

5. Inside "Chrome" click on the "Customize" icon in the top right of the screen (it is the 3 horizontal lines icon) and then click on "Settings" from the list.
