Alienware 17 R2 Green Dots on second monitor

I own a Alienware 17 R2 and I have had problems with shiny green dots on a second monitor I have connected via hdmi to my pc. My actual pc's screen does not have this problem but the monitor does and it gets worse when I watch videos, look at picture or play video games. The computer works with other monitors just fine and the monitor has worked with other pc's just fine. I have been using this combination for over a year and problems only came up after a recent large windows 10 update. Any help would be appreciated!

Just a little additional info, the shiny green dots are not static. The are associated with the picture or images on the screen. When I have a solid color desktop back ground they are hardly noticeable or just non existent but certain images come with a lot of dots. When I watch a video on my laptop screen sometimes the connected monitor goes completely black for a few seconds. The dots do not appear on screen shots.
