Hey,

I’ve got this one annoying issue that I just can't seem to shake.
Every time I try to watch GIFs (doesn't matter if I'm using Chrome or Firefox), after maybe four or five play through just fine, everything else starts looking totally garbled. Like, full-on pixelated nonsense where you can barely see any outlines left.
And then, if I keep trying to push through, I get hit with a memory error—check out the screenshot here:

The whole mess started right after I picked up a new graphics card: an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti.

Does anyone actually know what's causing this or how I can fix it?
I already tried updating my drivers, but honestly, it did absolutely nothing.

thx

When you're reinstalling drivers, you really need to wipe the old ones out first—using a tool like DDU or something similar is your best bet. If the latest version is acting up, don't just keep fighting it; try rolling back to a previous version or an older build to see if that stabilizes things.

Also, test it out on a different web browser or even a basic image viewer to see if the issue persists across different apps...

thanks,

I tried what you suggested and while it didn't totally fix everything, I can definitely scroll through GIFs for way longer before my screen starts freezing up on me.🙂

thx

Same thing happens on my phone. After a few app updates, everything just goes south.
