Screen flickering while watching videos (YouTube, etc.)

Hello, I would like to know if anyone has a solution to my problem.

Here, my computer had a Windows problem and I had to reinstall it.
Unfortunately, a problem that did not exist until the Windows reinstallation occurred: my screen flickers when I watch a video, whether on YouTube, Netflix, or elsewhere, and this persists even if I quit my web browser; either the screen flickers or it goes black and only the tab space is displayed.

Strangely, when the problem occurs and I launch ATITool and start a scan, the issue disappears and returns when I stop the scan.

However, there is no problem when using word processing or when playing my games (LoL, CS:GO, Fortnite, H1Z1, etc.)

Thank you in advance to those who will respond

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 66.0.3359.181

    Hi,

    I have the same problem as you on my Asus. The screen flickers when I watch a video on YouTube. It doesn't happen when I'm on VLC or another video player. As soon as I leave YouTube, the problem disappears. I updated the graphics drivers, but it didn't change anything.

    The problem appeared a few days ago... how about you?

    It must be either your graphics card or your screen; try changing the screen to see or the graphics card

      I want to clarify that this is also due to a reinstallation of Windows 10.

    Hello,

    In this kind of case, I recommend completely uninstalling the affected devices (via Device Manager "Uninstall device")
    Restart the PC
    Reinstall the devices, check for updates for each of them (Driver Booster from Advanced System Care is the best I've found to replace that crap of Windows Update).
    Restart again and see the results.

    If it doesn't work, let me know.

    Regards,
