Screen flickering on Predator Helios 500 but only when using a browser, I'm at my wits end here
Tinkerer
This is a brand new Acer Helios 500 with the Intel I9-14900HX and 4090 Graphics card. Been using it for about 5 days and it did not do this for the first 4 days. This morning I open the laptop and suddenly every browser I try, the color flickers from bright to a little dimmer and then back to bright again. It's super annoying and I have not installed anything on this laptop except 2 games that played fine the first 4 days. Other than that, all I pout on it was Chrome browser, but it's doing this flickering in other browsers I tested as well. Does not do it when I'm on my desktop or in a game.
Anyone know what's going on? It does it like every 5 seconds

Nevermind, I fixed it from another users suggestion to turn off hardware acceleration. Apparently it was turned on in Chrome and Edge browsers and both had the flickering issue. Turn it off and everything is normal now.
