I have a Radeon HD 6570 with a AsRock a75m-hvs motherboard and a AMD a6-3650 apu. I have had the computer for over a year with no problems. However, recently when I log onto youtube, the screen flashes and I get a message saying "AMD display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered" Soon thereafter the computer gets blue screened and restarts. I have no problems playing games, watching other videos online, playing my own movies with vlc, however, right when I log onto youtube, I get this error. I also made sure that all my drivers are up to date. Can anyone help? Thanks

Wanted to update something I found out. I can play youtube videos without any problems if I open them through someone's post on facebook, but I cannot access the youtube website without my computer crashing.


**So I was able to fix this problem for myself. Not sure if its permanent or not but, what I ended up doing was unchecking a box that said "enabled hardware acceleration". Im not sure what it exactly did and all that but my computer no longer crashes when i visit youtube. I went to the adobe forum website and right clicked my version and just unchecked it. Hopefully it will help for you guys
