my Windows 8 screen is turning green when i watch videos on youtube, netflix, or any apps

[araini]

I don't know how to fix this problem and it is getting worse as the days go on. I can't fix it on youtube either due to there not being a hardware button i know of. it didn't start until I got a Netflix app, but now I don't know how to fix it and I can only watch videos when my computer will let me, which is about 5% of the time. someone help!!!!!! I don't know how to fix it!!!

I have found that to be only a temporary fix. I can watch a few videos and then the green screen issue happens again. Any other suggestions?

There are a few possibilities: hardware acceleration is most likely, but an out of date windows 8 can cause this as well. What browser are you having problems with?

im just having problems with everything that uses internet for videos. explorer, google, bing, none of it will work and no apps either

Do you use Internet explorer?

yea that's what I use I think.

Try this guide:
a. Open Internet Explorer.
b. Click the Tools button or press Alt key + X, and then click Internet Options.
c. Click the Advanced tab, and then browse to the Accelerated graphics section.
d. Click to select the Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering check box.
e. Click Apply, and then click OK.
f. Close all open Internet Explorer window and then test the issue.

I think it worked!! thanks!!

No problem. 😀

Works for me too yay : )

I did a restart and it worked, thanks very much.

What are your pc specs? And also get the latest graphics driver.

I know it sounds stupid, but I have no idea. and ok i'll see if that works. if you have any...cheaper...options then im all ears too

I basically have the same issue, however before my screen started being green, few weeks ago till now, every time I watched videos on especially facebook , there would be weird black negative (effect) pixels and now there is a total green screen with sound. It's really frustrating and I'm personally using Google Chrome so the Internet Explorer solution can't really work for me.
Sorry about the poor english
