Sudden Screen tearing.

So, I've been experiencing some screen tearing. Oddly, it only occurs with video playback, and not when gaming (even on display spanning mode).

 

I have tried switching between normal triple display mode, and display spanning mode (which turns all 3 monitors into one, essentially). It happens in netflix, Vessel, Youtube, any kind of video playback. Even if I have the GPU overclocked. I call this "sudden" because I had no issues previously when I had just two monitors, each one running off of a different GPU.

 

Any thoughts?

IDo how to fix this but for the people who do I think It would be important to include what cable type you are using (vga, dvi, ect)

Two DVI, and one Mini display port to DVI

In what, netflix and youtube? or a driver problem?

Is it only happening inside the "video box" or is the whole screen tearing, no matter if it's fullscreen or not.

Only inside the video box, regardless of size, or full screen.

I would reinstall Adobe Flash player.

If that doesn't fix it, I would install the latest nvidia/amd driver, depending what gpu you have.
