Here's the general rundown, I have 2 monitors, my primary one that runs in 4k on a display port and the secondary that's connected through HDMI and runs 1080p.


The issue is that whenever I view a video that is 1080p or higher on YouTube through my secondary monitor, both screens will turn black for 2 seconds and come back on with the secondary monitor having overall changed resolution.
