Black screen when on Youtube

So, randomly whenever I have FireFox or IE open I get a random black screen for a second or two then it comes back on, I only ever get this when browsing the internet, never when gaming or anything else, I can't narrow it down to anything since I recently installed Windows 10, I have a GTX770 (HDMI) I have also checked Event viewer and there is nothing there about it.

(I have tried running Firefox in safe mode and it still does it)

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Nope nothing same result, it's only my primary monitor if I turn my second one on nothing happens to it, drivers are up to date, by the looks of it, it happens in all browsers, event viewer shows me nothing either, I am really at a loss here...
