Random flickering when watching two videos on two different monitors.

Yesterday, I noticed that when I'm watching two videos on both of my monitors, random green/black flickering would start to happen as soon as I tried to hoover around with my cursor on my right screen.

I've been looking on several forums, and I can't seem to find this particular problem. However, after reading about similar issues, I tried to disable hardware acceleration on Chrome, and the problem disappears, but I would like to know if there is an actual way to fix it, since hardware acceleration worked for me fine until yesterday.

Here I leave you a video showing the issue: http://sendvid.com/6h1n6646 (I hope I'm not breaking any rules by doing this, but I can't think of a better way of showing you said issue)

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: I forgot to mention that my graphics card drivers are updated and that I stress tested it with FuMark, and it seems to be working fine.

I just tried, and no crashes/flickers happen when I'm using Firefox with hardware acceleration on. There is some minor lag on twitch when I open a youtube video on my secondary monitor, but that's about it. Should I reinstall Google Chrome? If so, how? I actually tried doing it before opening this thread, but I may not have done it correctly.

Thanks again!
 
If Firefox works fine then it might just be a bug in Chrome. You can try deleting all the files in c/users/<name>/appdata having to do with google (in local and roaming) and reinstalling, but if that doesn't fix it just file a bug report and wait
