Hello all.
Since around yesterday morning I ran into multiple issues getting worse and worse, and it appears I am not alone it this case. For reference it was mentioned on Reddit first by someone who made the cause clear: Hardware acceleration+Brave+Youtube. And me who ran into many issues and run extensive researches that led to nothing until I saw that I was not alone lol. Here is the post for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/1w50hla/screen_flash_on_youtube_only_when_hardware/
Let me summarize the issues first from my POV:
-Screen flickering.
-Color saturation on taskbar or other windows for some seconds.
-computer going dark instantly. Not a proper crash, no logs, sometimes just a dark freeze, sometimes reboot.
-My first reboot led me back to Brave losing its logging cookies and extensions, but keeping other data like bookmarks or history.
My build if that can help:
Windows 11, last release (updated in the meantime so not related I guess)
Ryzen 5900x
B550 vision d-p
2x16gb ddr4
rtx 5070ti gigabyte windforce oc v2
Corsair, rm850x, changed few months ago when I changed gpu so both compatibles versions
1 ssd nvme, 2ssd sata and a hdd.
As I said everything up to date, even got through a clean windows reinstall as I ran out of solution. The other dude mentioned the issue not happening with hardware acceleration off.
Let me know if I can help.
