Screen tearing problem

Recently I've been experiencing screen tearing in-game, watching streams and scrolling in some webpages. It's not as bad as having v-sync off but still noticeable.

2 days ago I also had one of 2 of my monitors (HDMI Cable. Actually a small 720p tv that I've been using as my primary for years) loose signal with only my VGA monitor working, the only solution was to restart my PC.

Other than windows updates nothing has changed. My drivers are up to date and I didn't initially have this problem when I first installed them.

Screen tearing is also experienced on my VGA monitor.

Has anyone got any suggestions or ideas as to what is happening?

Are your drivers up to date? I've never seen that greyed out before..

EDIT: It's definitely the drivers that cause the grey out. see >>Here<<

EDIT: Turns out my windows theme was causing the problem, turning on AERO fixed it. wut.

Thanks for your time:)
Yea Aero uses full hardware acceleration while "standard" doesn't, I get the same issue with 8.1 and in 7. Glad you sorted it dude and also reported back. :cool:
