Monitor/s blinking when browsing back or closing tabs

[TJens7]

Hello, I've recently switched computers to an Intel NUC and installed Chrome. I've noticed from the get go watching Amazon Prime videos when I close a tab, the monitor flickers off for a second then comes back on, sometimes one, sometimes both. The flicker also causes a sound blip in the monitor as it has built in speakers. I've tested in the new MS Edge and unable to recreate. I've also ensured all the latest drivers and firmwares are installed on the NUC, and in Chrome disabled hardware acceleration and smooth scrolling in troubleshooting efforts. As I've only noticed this behavior in Chrome I'm posting this, but will be posting as well in Chrome support forums. I am on the latest Windows 10 revision 2004.

Hello,

I had seen it and had typed out a lengthy reply to have the autosave fail and loose my reply.

I reinstalled Windows and Chrome. I only mentioned Prime Video because I open and close tabs in it frequently, but it also does it occasionaly browsing forward or backward in any site. Typically the right monitor, also the right HDMI port by the power, will blink, sometimes the left monitor will blink, and sometimes both

Also as well, default power settings for Windows, the computer would go to sleep after default amount of time, attempting to wake, nothing comes on the monitors and requires cycling power to bring back on.

I set sleep time to never, however with the monitors set to go off after a time, frequently only one monitor will come back on requiring a shut down and powering on again to bring back both monitors. Further on this, sometimes upon rebooting the POST screen will only be on one monitor and I have to unplug the NUC and hold the power button for 30 seconds and then output on both HDMI ports is restored.

This NUC is replacement from a previous NUC replaced under warranty, I believe this NUC is having hardware issues.

Attached is the SSU report.

The unit is under warranty, I have submitted a support request.
