7970 video problem

[MrKambo]

Everytime i try to watch a youtube video or something, this happens

You tried reinstalling drivers ?

Hows the gpu under gaming ?

Disable hardware acceleration for flash and see if it happens again ..

Could be lots of things, best to start trying to eliminate a driver problem before thinking that the hardware could be at fault ...

 

[MrKambo]

reinstalled drivers - still does it
gaming seems fine
disabled HW on flash - doesnt do it
watching a episode of family guy using MPC-HC it does it....

Whats your browser ?

Try in chrome or firefox and see if it persists

 

[MrKambo]

i use chrome

heres a quick video of what its doing, might be easier to tell

Hi mate.

You a running 2 cards right ? I have the same problem whit my 2 * 7970 and can't find out the problem. But after i only use one, there was no problem on Youtube or wow.

Try it out and see what is going to happen..

 

[MrKambo]

yeah im running 2 cards, crossfire is disabled, and has been for a couple of weeks now, i have alot less issues with crossfire disabled!

but this is doing it with only one card

[MrKambo]

Does it do the same in games?

 

[MrKambo]

no seems fine in games, had fire strike extreme running for ages, held up alright

Very common problem this one but incredibly odd that it's just started happening.

Have you looked at your Windows Update history and possibly done a system restore?

It might be an update that's done this. I had one a while back that made the windows on my PC take around three seconds to open and close,almost like they were in slow motion.

Try going back to stock overclocks? In a few of my games if i go above 1000/1250 then it just freezes and or drivers crash. At stock 960/1250 it's perfectly fine though. Maybe you might have this problem?

Take out one card at a time and do trial and error to see if one is starting to die?

 

[sheroo]

But does it still fold ok?

yeah might have to try that

But does it still fold ok?

i stopped folding on them couple of days ago, so couldnt tell you now if they fold alright

 

[NeverBackDown]

yeah might have to try that

Seems like the only option left. You could update the flash player if you haven't already? Doubt it would help but worth a try.
