I just upgraded from my R9 390 to a GTX 1070. I uninstalled all the AMD drivers and such, and then i installed the new GPU + installed Nvidia drivers. Everything is up to date i believe. Pretty sure i did everything fine. Only issue is that my Chrome browser crashes a lot while watching Youtube videos. If i advance the video too much too fast, it will freeze up the browser and crash. Sometimes my Youtube video will just freeze by itself and crash the browser. I don't know if it's GPU related, but it only started happening the day i installed my new GPU. I've read online that quite a few driver patches in the past made it so the GPU didn't work too well with Chrome, what should i do ? My current driver version is 373.06.
