[@dominickdipiazza8292]

Hello I was wondering if you can help me, so my pc was having issues after it’s last windows update in February and it started flickering turns out it was my resolution. I bought another temporary pc thinking it would replace my old one and unfortunately it was fine but could not run games well. So I have bought another one and it’s having the same sort of flickering issue and very choppy scrolling on google chrome. Please help me I’m panicking and my anxiety is through the roof

Delete the GPUCache folder in the following directory (for most it will be the C:\ disk but if your user folder is on another disk go there) C:\(your username)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\ShaderCache\GPUCache. It fixes the issue without disabling hardware acceleration. A new GPU cache folder will be created on chrome startup automatically.

My chrome is actually partially black, the black shapes, but with a white background. I can still see my mouse turns to a pointing finger wherever i move it. I tried to Ctrl+h and it seems that black screen is invading, like there's some text but rather than to be black screen. the last i did to the chrome before this happen was to sync my google account with another device to the chrome. And after, black shapes are appearing right in the link bar, but the menu is still there though, and I tried to search google.com and i can't see the search bar or the logo, i followed the steps but nothing happens. Is my laptop the issue?

Old video but experiencing this problem with windows 11, just built this pc and it only occurs when i install the nvidia drivers.. oddly enough i think its due ti windows refresh rate being 1440p 59.95 instead of 60 because if i switch to 1080p 60 it doesnt happen, i dont want 1080p 60 though and it works qhile in a smaller box too.

This is happening on my chromebook but it appears to be an issue with chrome. Even if I quite chrome (the app) the entire chromebook screen goes black for a couple seconds and comes back on with chrome (the app) back up and running but with an error message (did not shut down properly, restore pages?). I can't even try any of your fixes b/c the entire screen turns black so fast I can't get to the settings. Interestingly enough, of the 3 logins on the chromebook it only happens in one of them. Thanks for any suggestions, PLEASE!!

[@MurennetheQueen]

This is exactly what's happening with my daughter's chromebook... any solutions?

[@mikesunboxing]

not sure i'll look into it

[@D_Nine_Tee]

Murenne Philistin I actually deleted that particular login from the Chromebook and then added it back. This seemed to me a better fix than restoring factory settings and losing all 3 logins. It did work and her profile actually stayed the same.....

[@D_Nine_Tee]

Mike's unboxing, reviews and how to check my reply below, by deleting the login altogether then adding it back everything works. It was definitely an issue w chrome (the app) and something I’ve never experienced where it blacked out the entire screen not just the chrome window. Obviously the mobile OS works differently than windows but a very weird issue to effect the entire screen.

@@OlettaLiano Edge is based on Chrome now, but better than Chrome which shows Google could sort Chrome if they wanted to.

Hey Mike, how do your instructions change if the black screen happens, on video-playing-screen only, with dual monitor set up? Initially, I changed my refresh rate and the black screen stopped, but now it's back. Thanks so much. Also, if I move the video to the non-main screen, videos seem to then play fine.

sounds like a driver issue to be honest

[@actingGG79]

It's usually more simpler reason why your phone screen is black, it's on some battery saving system. All you need to do is go into Chrome, right button 3 dots. Go down to settings then go down to theme. Then change from black to white screen. This is on Samsung Android anyway. Hope this helps you.

a got a new GPU and reinstalled (fresh) Win 11 and the flickering still didn't go away, so I followed a different video that said to disable hardware acceleration, clear cache, switch Chrome to use OpenGL instead and switch it to High performance in windows, and that seems to have fixed it.

Got a question. My chrome book has been acting weird today and one of the things that happens is the edges of the chrome book become black and start zooming in. Anyway to fix this?

[@prototypeoswald1140]
