R380 green screen issue?

This has a fair few pages about it on the interwebz, but so far, I have not found a solid solution.

Basically, I bought a Radeon 380 a while back, and in my AMD, its been a solid card. Never gave me any issues at all.

I knocked up an intel and in that, its been a whore!

It keeps green screening and makes a horrible buzz sound and that requires me to power it off.
I can turn it back on instantly and its fine for a completely random length of time before it does the same.

Now, it has ONLY ever happened when watching Youtube?

I have gone back a few driver versions and that does seem to cure it temporarily, but after a short while, it comes back.

Im not much of gamer any more, but I do like to have the occasional play, of course I do, and so the 380 is just fine... Heck, I got a couple of 7770 cards that I often plop in and I might just stick with using one of those - they play the games I want them to absolutely fine too, but I would rather use the 380.

Before I do swap them back over, is there an actual cure for this or shall I just accept that its never going to be right?

Like I said, it has NEVER once given me any issues at all in the time I have had it, when I had it in the AMD, but in the intel... It never lasts more than a day before it crashes.
Similarly, the 7770 NEVER gives me any issues like this.
 
From my experience from the 380 was always ram voltages that gave the issues try looking in the driver prog to stop any power saving. It was a beast of a card in its day shame it was not supported more.
