I have noticed when ever I launch Google Chrome I get a screen flicker and when I load a page i also get a slight screen flicker.
It seems to happen a lot on sights like YouTube and Justintv. It may be flash related I don't really know though.

Anyone else having this problem with Google Chrome?

I use Windows 8 64 bit on my G46 and I have never gotten this problem. Odd. Try reinstalling the browser?

It's my 3rd installation. Firefox is fine and same with IE it only happens with Chrome.

In http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/chrome/_AJLRTPGTdM, @illutian posts "It appears the flickering is caused by setting SLI Rendering to anything other than 'NVIDIA Recommended' in the 306.97 and 310.70 NVIDIA drivers.

I have the 313.96 driver and it still flickers.

Check these settings under Chrome here:

In the address bar, "chrome://flags" without quotes.

Search for “GPU compositing on all pages” and enable it. Next, search for “Disable accelerated 2D canvas” and enable that.

Restart Chrome.

@Dreamonic... Made the changes but i still notice a flicker. It looks like as if a metro app is going to launch for like .1ms when ever i launch chrome or go to a webpage with flash using chrome.

After using it for awhile I think your fix worked. I'm not noticing the flicker anymore but I'm also dead tired I will test this tomorrow. Thanks for the help
