Hey,

My Chrome is suddenly playing up...when i scroll down/up quickly, lots of grey and white squares appear. How do i get rid of these?

Thanks!

Type chrome://flags/ in the address bar and try playing with the GPU related options. It sounds like a video driver issue.

I've seen those. Do they go away once you've seen the entire page, but come back when you switch tabs?

GPU might be dying.

Both of them? Mine's just over a year old. Chrome was updated recently though...

Edit: it looks a lot like this.

I have seem those on these forums. Only on the Youtube thread though. I just thought that flash was to blame.

It's more noticeable on really long pages with inertial scrolling; Flash doesn't appear to be a factor.
