[Solved] Issues with Google Chrome and Spotify

[psych107]

I have Sierra up and running on my Asus Z170 Pro Gaming mobo. i7 6700k. EVGA GeForce 1060. However, I am running into issues with Chrome and Spotify. These are two vital pieces of my everyday workflow, so I'd like to get them working. When I open the Spotify app I simply see a black screen, nothing ever loads up. In google chrome, I can access websites, but they are choppy and my mouse lags significantly when I roll it across the browse--none of my browsers are capable of loading certain videos either (twitch.tv)?

Any assistance or recommendations would be extremely helpful. Thank you very much

Thanks for the recommendations. Tried all of these to no avail. However, I didn't see nv_disable=1 in my config.plist file so there was nothing to remove. Everything else is as you recommended. For a better example of what is going on here, I have included screenshots of Spotify, and Google Chrome.

I also noticed when I log in to macOS (I installed 10.12) a horizontal portion of the screen is grey. The grey portion expands and contracts on my display until I successfully log in. Guessing this is a related issue as well? Thanks.
