Hi guys. I am reposting this thread to this forum section because I can't find a forum topic that is meant for these kinds of problems. This is the original thread:
Hey guys. I've been trying to solve a very, VERY aggravating problem for a long, long time. It seems that certain elements of webpages and other online programs don't work in certain aspects. I think it had something to do with flash, but installing various updates and uninstalling/reinstalling my flash didn't do anything to aid the issue. At one point in time, updating my graphics driver made it work for a few minutes, but I doubt there's a connection. I'll supply some pictures to display this issue.
Wanna watch something on youtube?

Of course. It's one of the only functional things on my browser.
What about Vimeo?

Sure. No idea why this works.
Let's watch that new Witcher 3 trailer on IGN.

Oh wait, it's blank.
How about a Borderlands 2 review on GameSpot?
Let's see how good it supposedly is before I buy it.

Nope. Blank as well.
Let's look at Garry's Mod on the steam store!
I bet they have some interesting store page pictures of some gameplay!
http://i1.minus.com/ibaVjKZolgmV33.png
Nope. Always ends up black. Videos don't work either.
Well, maybe we can look at some other steam games.

Seems normal right?
Let's click the "next 20" button and see what else is on sale.

Oh. Well I guess I won't be seeing the other games for sale.
It even acknowledges that I pressed the button, and that I'm in the 21-40 section.
Yet it stays the same list.
Additionally, if I press any button on the steam store's page, like the next 20 button, after pressing that, I can no longer press anything else, I have to reload the "Featured" page to interact with anything again, like clicking on a game to view its store page. It's very, very weird.
If I don't refresh it, my cursor does not change to:

When I hover over something I should be able to click.
It stays as:

And I can no longer interact with anything on the store page besides scroll it up and down.
Well, it seems that Steam is being uncooperative. Let's play some Shellshock live with friends!

Son of a bitch.
Maybe we'll play a different game on kongregate.
http://i5.minus.com/iv7b2bRml6K2u.png
"Fuck you", said my computer.
Hm, maybe Bloons TD5 will work on kongregate.
http://i7.minus.com/iZizUDnV9UrnA.png
Fantastic. -.-
Why not something new on AddictingGames?
http://i5.minus.com/iFCyqqjTEkl6D.png
Seriously?
Let's find some new headphone suggestions on /mu/.
http://i1.minus.com/ibfZz6V5F7cgON.png
Oh, that picture looks nice. Let's click on it to enlarge it!
And nothing happens. It highlights the picture and that's it.
I have to right click and open the image in a new tab on every board on 4chan given I want to view the image.
Wanna upload a photo of a problem that you're having and post
it to Tom's Hardware using imgur?
http://i1.minus.com/iLfbWp7Uc7B7z.png
Stuck at 100%. Every time. Every. Time.
Let's refresh imgur and try to upload the image again. Might work, right?
http://i4.minus.com/iBpHm4ApvKlgb.png
Instead, I receive a blank, grey webpage. With the number 574 chilling in the corner. Maybe I'll refresh imgur again to see if it loads the webpage.
Nope, still the same blank grey page.
Maybe I'll close chrome completely and then get on imgur.
Nope, still the same blank grey page.
I literally have to restart my computer for imgur to work. Which then it will freeze at 100%, and I will try to refresh it, and poof. Blank. Grey. Page.
Okay, let's get on amazon, I need a new computer to replace this shitbag that can't display anything that uses the fucking internet.
http://i6.minus.com/ibroYvWzCU11RI.png
OH FUCKING WAIT. AMAZON LOADS COMPLETELY BLANK. FORGOT ABOUT THAT ONE.
No matter what the page. Whether it be the home page, or I'm linked to a specific products page.
Nothing.
Someone, for the love of fucking God help me. I have never seen this problem before and I am turning towards losing my mind. I can't figure it out. Java updates, flash updates, graphics driver updates.
Ab-so-lute-ly nothing.
I really need some help.
Please.
