GTX 960 issues

[Xarvz]

So these problems began about 2 weeks ago when I updated my GPU driver, bios and chipset driver. I update my GPU all the time but it so happened that I updated it the same day I decided to update drivers from my motherboards 

website.

Anyway what happened was this

As you can see from the original it kinda inverts a lot of the colours to black for some odd reason. This happened with youtube videos as well but seemed to mostly affect the beginning of them or certain parts. Once a gif looped fully in this colour it would come back to normal in the following loops until I cleared cache. The other weird issue that arose was whenever I opened a gif with windows 10 photo viewer it would crash after 1 second and zooming in and out of images twice would also crash it. Though weirdly enough I had no real issues in games like Overwatch/League Of legends. Anyway I decided to rollback the Nvidia driver to the to an older one and that fixed all my problems (or so I thought) *Please note these issue seemed to only affect chrome/windows photos and not firefox/Vivaldi*

 

After rolling back the driver everything was fine for about a day until I got a random black flash and every youtube video in chrome went green. I had to reload each video to play them.

 

So since then I tried updating to a slightly newer Nvidia driver that had just come out and it gave me the first problems all over again. So I've since reverted to an even older driver to see if that would fix either of the problems and I still have the black flash and video crash one. At this point I feel like reinstalling windows but really can't be bothered do that. It could be an issue with the GPU itself or maybe the chipset driver I installed but it's extremely hard for me to tell what the problem is. Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this.

Chrome> Settings> Advanced Settings> Uncheck "Use hardware acceleration when available"

 

This is an issue I've found in chrome. Though regarding windows photos and etc, I'm not too sure.

I was in class when that gif popped up in my reddit and gagged with a vocal response.  Everyone turned around and looked at me like *I* Just deepthroated a stick of butter lmao.

I know this could fix the chrome issue but I guess I don't want to do it because I shouldn't have to. I've never had this problem before. Though I don't really know the disadvantages of disabling hardware acceleration. I'm guessing things would just be a bit slower? I'm just interested to see if anyone had anything similar to this with the flash of a black screen or the inverted black and knows a solution or if it's a problem with my GPU itself and I should claim on the warranty. Not ever being able to update my drivers would be terrible. And seeing how they have updated the drivers and it's still a problem I don't think it's a problem other 960 users are experiencing.
