Google chrome opening to black screen Windows 8.1

Question

Using google chrome version 41, downloaded it yesterday. Now when I click the icon in the task bar it opens to a black screen. Moving the cursor to the top I get a line that shows a red X and allows me to close, or I can click the google icon at the bottom, only thing there with black screen, and it will open to my preferred home page. This thing is also using above 90% of my CPU and slowing live streaming to 1/3 of what it was before the new install. I have deleted all extensions, cleared browser, etc.

Solution

Version 41 is the latest development version. You should be running the latest stable version, which is 39.

Update: Latest stable version is now 40.
