Google Chrome Black Screen... of death? [closed]

I am randomly getting these black squares, and the only way to get rid of them and see a webpage is to restart the browser. What could possibly be causing the issue?

P.S. I am using the latest Google Chrome (Version 53.0.2785.143 (64-bit)) on macOS Sierra 10.12.
