why does my youtube flicker black?

[tazarbm]

Hey, guys!

I think I've made a stupid last night when I played with the settings of my Nvidia panel and now my youtube vids flicker black whenever I watch them and I don't know which Nvidia setting is the culprit so I can revert it and there are tons of settings in there.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? I did randomly revert some of the settings (the ones that I remember changing, but AFAIK I messed up with all of the settings in there) that I could remember, but the vids still flicker

Just give a ballpark estimate of which menu item in the Nvidia panel could cause the flickering and I'll go and manually toy with that setting until I get it right. Also, is it rebooting the computer necessary in order for the new settings to kick in, or is the "apply" button enough for this?

Here's a screenshot of my Nvidia panel for my GTX 660 GPU in case you need to see the links on the left handside of the panel so you can point me to the right one:

EDIT: I just noticed that the clips only flicker when I move the mouse (and yes, only the videos that I watch online flicker, the clips that I watch on my computer don't do it). Any ideas what could be wrong?

Mods, please move this thread in its designated sub-forum (if one exists), as I have a feeling that my thread is not being seen by the right people.

Thanks in advance to all of you!

If it was mine, I would restore the default settings.

Why not reinstall the browser to try?

it would restore to the initial settings that the software came with, and I remember that I did take a full day back then to customize the GPU because I had to do research on every single setting that's in there because I'm not tech-savvy and I didn't understand what those things do. So, I'd hate to have to do this all over again for several hours

because I didn't think about it. But I don't think it's the browser's fault because these problems started after I messed with Nvidia's settings. I'm dead sure about this

Last time I installed an nvidia gpu it worked great out of the box. The only thing I had to do was configure for my extra monitors. Weird.

I think is the "Vertical sync" setting you should play with.
