Basicly I have a 5850 and overclocked it and its stable plays games great but when I go to play a youtube video the display driver crashes and the youtube video turns green... any ideas on how to fix this? It also happens to my friend.

Cant be graphics card since i thought Flash 10.2 with Hardware acceleration was Nvidia only?

I had it since 10.1 I think it was with the ATI Hardware acceleration? I just cant work it out.

This used to happen with my old 9800gt with multiple drivers, so not an ati only problem. My new 5850 works fine though (non oc atm).

it might be because you have a ATI card.......

atmax1 · 13 Aug 2010 at 14:55

isn't because its an ATI card.... lol

I give up trying to fix this, going to give to a mate and get a 470 or a 460 since i dont play games much anymore.

Update flash and Java, if that fails..... then roll back to an earlier version of catalyst.

I take it you have tried it with the overclock turned off?

atmax1 · 13 Aug 2010 at 23:25

I have tried 10.4 same problem, and with no overclock its fine but any overclock on it at all it crashes out

I lol'ed at this. My 5770 does fine with hardware acceleration. What drivers have you tried?
And if you don't play games anymore, a 470/460 is pretty much overkill...

Thanks S00PR3M3 I will try it tomorrow as pc is in parts at the moment..

@Orcvader - I tried 10.4 and 10.7, I don't play may games at the moment but I will most likely start again soon like always.

I just turned off hardware acceleration for flash due to the same problem.

Reset to stock clocks, play a youtube video, right click on it, settings and untick "enable hardware acceleration".

Or turn MSI Afterburner off (assuming you use it with 2d/3d profiles) when you watch youtube/other flash videos
