WebDriver backed selenium won't launch new chrome browser (38.0.2125.104)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Issue Description:
We are using combination of chromedriver/webdriverbackedselenium/teamcity for 
our functional tests. Since the new release of chrome browser, our tests won't 
start. We tried updating chromedriver to 2.11, webdriver backed selenium to 
2.43.1 but no luck. When we reverted back to chrome browser v37, it works. 
Could you please help? 

Exception we received in teamcity:
OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : The HTTP request to the remote WebDriver 
server for URL 
http://localhost:61387/session/63f6382beec9938da3dc1ef2c2104f74/cookie timed 
out after 60 seconds.
System.Net.WebException : The operation has timed out

Following if the chrome_debug.log 
[1884:2368:1014/172810:ERROR:gpu_process_transport_factory.cc(418)] Failed to 
establish GPU channel.

Steps to reproduce (if relevant, you MUST provide a simplified html page or
link to public site):
Code to initialize chrome options:
var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.AddArgument("--no-experiments");
options.AddArgument("--disable-translate");
options.AddArgument("--disable-plugins");
options.AddArgument("--disable-extensions");
options.AddArgument("--no-default-browser-check");
options.AddArgument("--clear-token-service");
options.AddArgument("--disable-default-apps");
options.AddArgument("--enable-logging");
options.AddArgument("test-type");

var driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.Manage().Timeouts()
.ImplicitlyWait(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60))
.SetScriptTimeout(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60));
