I just built a new PC last week and earlier  this morning for a split second a whole bunch of black pixels appeared for a split second. It happened a few more times each time the pixels were randomly in different areas. I was able to get a photo by recording my PC for a few minutes. It seems to be happening about every 10 minutes.

Does it happen at anytime or only when browsing with Chrome?

It can happen for me aswell but only specific when browsing youtube with Chromium based browser (tested both Chrome and Edge).

When it happens it looks very similar like your screenshots.

Not sure, If it is the problem though what did you do to fix it.

It's not fixed, but I don't care it doesn't bother me much.

But please test it further to see if it's only when browsing, and specificly on youtube, or perhaps on other video streaming sites aswell.

Potential fix for this: put "chrome://flags" in the URL bar, search ANGLE, and change API from default to OpenGL.

others reported back that it worked.

others are experiencing this recently as well, apparently it's a bug with chrome

Can confirm that Edge is also having this bug, I wonder if all chromium browsers has it.

Or perhaps it's a bug with Youtube? I've read they've done alot of changes to their Youtube site, to stop adblocks. Aren't Youtube owned by Google (which owns Chrome)?
