How to solve graphics issues: Chrome

If you are working with a late model Mac using OSX 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8, you might have been experiencing massive flickering and flashing of the Chrome browser. Even though it looks like your graphic card is not working properly, there is nothing wrong with it.

If other browsers like FireFox, WaterFox and Safari are working fine, then the issue with Chrome is probably due to your settings within Chrome.

Solution:
(1) Sign into Chrome, and select [Settings] in the Chrome menu.
(2) Scroll all the way down, and select [Show advanced settings].
(3) Scroll down to System, and DE-Select [Use hardware acceleration when available].
(4) Restart Chrome.

This should solve the problem, and Chrome should work fine. However keep in mind that Google will stop updating Chrome for late models using 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, so it will be a good idea to start the switch over to another browser, or update your system for OSX 10.9 and beyond.
