Graphics card drivers crash when watching youtube videos.

[Dopy]

I've sent in my pc last week because it was bluescreening like mad, when I got it back it was formatted and the ram was replaced (apperantly it was faulty), all was well again, except for one thing. Whenever i'd watch a youtube video the screen would black out randomly, a few moments later it would come up again and Catalyst would say the drivers had stopped responding and have restarted. I've tried updating to the latest Catalyst (11.3) but it still happens, i've already uninstalling/reinstalling my drivers, no luck either!

My graphics card is a sapphire HD 5970
Current catalyst version is 11.3

I can play games perfectly no hiccups, nothing, it just does it when I watch youtube videos.
If someone could help me out that'd be awesome.

On a flash object, right click it and go to the settings.

Go to the far left tab on the bottom, once there uncheck "Enable Hardware Acceleration"

Post back saying if it works or not.

Alright i've done that, i'm currently playing some games and it can take a long while before it'll actually crash on a youtube vid, before it crashed today I had watched several vids, so it could be a while before it happens again, if it does i'll pm you though!

Don't PM me, post in the thread.

It provides closure so others know to not bother suggesting new things here.

The reason why it could be hardware acceleration is because sometimes drivers shit all over themselves when Youtube suggests hardware acceleration be used to view their videos. This is usually a problem with the drivers and is usually fixed with a driver update.

Alright well so far so good, i've watched some videos and nothing has happened so far!
