So this happened...

[dukethedj]

So whenever I go and watch a YouTube video, this happens on whatever the primary monitor is. It just happened yesterday. I have done absolutely nothing.

Running Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates and have the latest AMD drivers installed

 

It works fine after a reboot, though.

Umm, looks like a GPU driver problem.

Tried reinstalling the driver but now it just pops in and out

On a more serious note, is it only YouTube?

Could be GPU, could also just be the monitor.

Personally, my monitor does something similar. When I boot my computer after a couple hours of it being shut down, the monitor stays black(even though the computer itself complete POST and the LEDs on the keyboard light up, indicating that Windows is fully loaded, not to mention my second monitor shows everything just fine) for a good minute or two, then there's a bunch of lines that start appearing on the monitor.. At that point if I close the monitor and reopen it, everything works again.(I could also reboot at that point and it will work too)

So you could try that if that happens again, wait a little bit and just close/open the Monitor only, don't reboot the computer itself. If the issue is "fixed", then it's your monitor.

Yes. Only the youtubes. I reinstalled the driver and it is now just random

Its not the monitor. When I unplug the DVI cable from the primary monitor, it goes over to the other one. But it seems to be working fine now

Artifacts usually indicate data corruption. Either the GPU, Cable, Or Monitor. Eliminate as you go and youll know where the issue is coming from.
