Do they go away when you remove the overclock

Disable Hardware Acceleration?

Remove the overclock? Like seriously, it's not worth overclocking 10, 16, and 20 series gpus when the things are temperature sensitive, and running on a shared heatsink with the cpu in the small package that is a laptop...

so, you reset your bios to all defaults, right? and this only happens with a few apps?

yeah it only happens with the 3 apps listed above to my knowledge, i havent had any issue with the other apps/games that i use and i tried reseting my bios and reinstalling windows too doesnt fix anything! also its wierd cause i had Hardware Acceleration enabled before u told me to disable it but i still didnt have any problem on Opera, sorry for late answers btw im having online class lol

I would power down. switch off the psu from the main power switch on the psu and unplug it a few minutes and then restart, see what happens. maybe, if you have a restore point to before the overclock happened could help you.

To disable Hardware Acceleration - at least on Firefox, because that's what I use - go to Options > General tab, and scroll down until you get to Performance.
