Problem when viewin flash videos.

Infamous-butche · 19 Jun 2013 at 20:15

A few days ago my PC (specs in sig) stopped displaying youtube videos and flash videos from other sites.
It plays the sound for the video, but the screen is messed up (see picture).
It almost looks like when your vram in the gpu is broken mixed with an out of tune channel on an old Crt analogue tv.
Youtube videos play fine if I uninstall flash and run them via html5.
I've tried reverting to an earlier graphics driver (12.8 13.1 13.4 beta 13.6 and 13.5) an earlier Firefox version, stock gpu settings, underclocked gpu settings and an earlier flash version but nothing seemed to work.
Has anyone had the same problem or have a fix? I can't seem to find anything about this on google or adobes site.

here's a picture of said problem.

For got to mention. When running from the igpu its fine and nothing crashes. I'm really worried that my gpu may be crapping out on me. Even though it plays games fine. Its only 5 months old so hopefully it can be replaced with no bother.

Disable hardware acceleration in flash.

I have this done already as the gpu jumps from 0% to 89% usage when in firefox. Thanks for the reply though.

Actually I didn't realize that there was that option in the flash menu. This seems to have fixed the problem. Thank you so much.

No problem, that always seems to be the culprit.
