    Hi, I've had my asus for about a month or 2. And recently I've noticed that on certain pages some of the text/graphics are blurry. I have print screened some examples:

    [​IMG]


    [​IMG]

    The first image is not supposed to be red or with all those weird colours (its on tinychat) and the 2nd image is not supposed to be shaded blue, its supposed to be white on black text. As you can see the text is very blurry and some of the graphics are blurry as well. Anybody have any idea how to fix this? Is this a driver problem with my graphics card or maybe I need to update adobe flash/java? This is only on some websites and I've just discovered this a while ago. help please!

    It could be a driver issue.

    Try boot into safe mode w/networking and see if you can replicate the issue. If everything seems fine in safe mode, re-install your driver from your driver disk or the Asus website.

    Is GPU acceleration enabled in Chrome?

    Check about:flags options.

    Just type about:flags into your address bar.

    Does it happen in other browsers? If so maybe it's a driver issue.

    Does it do this in another browser, do games run ok?

    It is possible that GPU memory is getting bad. (Not likely)

    Ok, so I also tried this. Used chrome in safemode with the exact same websites and no problem. I reinstalled the newest updated VGA drivers from the asus site but the problem still occurs when I boot windows 7 normally....what can be going on.....
