This just recently this started happening to me. One day i turned my computer on and it started to happen to me on every youtube video id watch at fullscreen HD. Every time i watch a youtube video at fullscreen HD it flickers and its so annoying. The only way to stop it is to lower the quality but i dont want to lower the quality. Can someone help me fix this issue?
