Upgrade to latest chromedriver.

This was a bug and was resolved in chromedriver v2.28. Refer: https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads

I too face the same issue recently. I took latest jar from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.29/ and added to my project. The issue got resolved.

Screen flickering can also lead to this error.

solution reduce the window size to a screen becomes stable. I could resolve this issue by adding below code

 Dimension d = new Dimension(800, 600);
 driver.manage().window().setSize(d);

Try:

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "\\path\\to\\chromedriver");

and don't forget to add selenium.jar to your build path
