Posted October 31, 2016 Running on the latest Windows 10 64 bit, using Google Chrome. Brand new PC that I just built 2 weeks ago. Build link if useful- http://pcpartpicker.com/list/WBGv4C I installed my motherboard drivers via the CD that came with my motherboard, not sure if that could be the reason why. Screenshots of the issue- http://i.imgur.com/2sPtJ8m.png http://i.imgur.com/tzE7yYF.png It only happens with some YouTube videos and GIFS, it also goes away after a few seconds and then plays flawlessly. It's been happening since day 1 but I've just been ignoring it until now. No other issues in anything else, gaming works perfect. I would really appreciate it if someone could please help me figure out what the problem is and how to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 31, 2016 Saw a few posts with these problems earleir aswell. All mentioned Chrome. So try different browser like Firefox and see if the same problem is there. Also if you run latest Nvidia drivers ( not sure what your GPU is) some seem to have similar problems aswell, what could be solved by rolling back if I remember correctly. Not sure if and when this applies, so might be unrelated. The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Posted October 31, 2016 This is happening to me on Chrome as well, I think it only appeared after updating to the latest Nvidia drivers so that may be a reason for it. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it only happens in Chrome, I'm glad nothing is wrong with my hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy there's nothing wrong with my hardware. Thank you so much for your answer! I sincerely appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I've been hearing a lot of bad things about the latest Nvidia drivers/GeForce Experience. Since I just built my PC I don't really know what the old GeForce Experience was like but I'll probably downgrade to it soon. Thank you for your post, good to know I'm not the only one experiencing the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah I don't use Geforce Experience. And drivers messing up, well that happens sometimes with everything. Doing fresh install with Nvidia is overall no biggie. But seeing your reaction I asume switching browser helped? The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.

Probably a stupid question but just to be certain, I simply right click in programs and click on uninstall- correct? Also, should I keep the current drivers I have or download specific older drivers? And is there any drivers I shouldn't have and don't need that would affect gaming performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use DDU to uninstall the drivers because it does a better job of wiping everything related to them. As for what specific version of driver to use, I dunno. Ask someone like @Lays who probably knows way more. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching browsers fixed the problem, I'll continue to use Chrome though since it's not a huge issue, I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with my hardware.

Posted November 1, 2016 Good to hear. As mentioned use DDU for display drivers to be certain, but when you do the install of Nvidia drivers and select manual install you can specify a clean install.. That overall works well enough. The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
