    Black boxes with colored dots appearing on screen


    I bought this laptop and set it up yesterday. Several times now, black boxes filled with colored dots have appeared at random on the screen in different places. They disappear if I highlight text only in the area that was covering text or if I scroll up or down. Attached is a screenshot of what they look like this box was covering a large portion of the screen but part of it disappeared when I highlighted text beneath it. These boxes have appeared over multiple programs, not just Chrome.


    Not sure if this is an issue with the computer itself and I should return it or with Windows. Help is appreciated.
