Google Chrome Loading Blank Pages

Making this quick post so I don't have to search forever to find this solution in the future.  (You know, where you scratch your head and say "I've had this problem before.  How did I resolve it?")

Sometimes Google Chrome gets weird.  For me this is often when I put my Windows machine in sleep or hibernate mode.  Next thing I know, all currently open page in Google Chrome or any new pages I open simply contain nothing.  Blank.  Zip.  Nada.  They aren't even trying to hit the network.  They do nothing.

Here is one solution I've tried that works:

• Shut down Chrome.
• Check your hidden systray icons to see if there's another running.  There often is.  Right click and shut it down, too.
• Next, go into this folder:
  C:\Users\[your username]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Local Storage
• Delete everything in there.  If you feel nervous about deleting the contents, move them to a different folder instead.
• Start Chrome up.

You should be good to go.
