Issue descriptionChrome Version : Happens on All 64 bit Chromes URLs (if applicable) : OS version : MacBook Early 2011 with dual graphics cards with El Capitan Behavior in Safari 3.x/4.x (if applicable): Behavior in Firefox 3.x (if applicable): Behavior in Chrome for Windows: What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Open any page on chrome (2) Connect an external display (so Mac switches to external graphics card) (3) Move chrome to new monitor (4) Chrome renders white screen however DOM objects still works Only solution is shutdown chrome completely and relaunch when I connect or disconnect external screens. Additonally, when I switch monitor and keep working on tab on primary display it works however if I create a new tab then Chrome will have trouble to render both tabs. Solution is restarting chrome from scratch. Probably you'll need to trigger render engine when graphic card has been changed due to attach/deattach external displays on Macs

I'd need a local repro. What monitor is causing this problem? What is your GPU (can you attach a PDF of about:gpu printed-to-PDF).

Each monitor experiencing the same problem. I just updated my system to Sierra. It worsen than ever. Black screens started to appear sometimes if I close and re-open lid.

I have a same issue. When I am normally using my macbook, it uses the Integrated GPU http://grab.by/Tkzi At this point everything in Chrome works fine. but as soon as I open Photoshop which cause my system switches to High Pref. GPU, Chrome rendering is broken. I only see large white and/or black squares http://grab.by/TkA8 http://grab.by/TkAc I have attached about:gpu result for both GPUs Then I have to relaunch Chrome to fix it. Seems High Pref. GPU is not the problem, maybe just switching between GPUs causes this. because after closing Photoshop and relaunching Chrome, system still uses High Pref. GPU and everything in chrome is fine. (This happened almost after I updated to macOS Sierra.)

Hi, Here is a tool to make it easier to reproduce. It forces switch between integrated and discrete gpu. After I switch from one to the other, then try to change tab in Chrome, I get the bug every time (big black boxes, blank page, or page content stays the same when switching tabs). The tool is: gfxCardStatus But you need a special version for Sierra here: https://github.com/codykrieger/gfxCardStatus/issues/240#issuecomment-250989335 (gfxCardStatus.app.zip steveschow) Hoping you can find the fix, I have to restart Chrome 2-3 times a day for the last month
