Weird graphical issue when viewing a youtube video.

[refluX]

Hey,

Recently, I tried hooking up my 1360x768 (Acer x193HQ) monitor as a secondary monitor to accompany my main monitor (Samsung S24D300 1920x1080). This worked successfully, I could play games perfectly fine, I could watch a livestream fine on both monitors, but when I went to go view a youtube video, the monitor that had the tab open for youtube (Would be the same result on either monitor) would just glitch, and it would turn into white and black bars. I really have no idea what's going on, I think it's just because the graphics processor (AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series) cannot handle it, as it appears to be on its last legs (I cannot confirm this, it only appears to be buggy on one game, which isn't a lot of evidence to prove it).

System Specs:

OS: Windows 8.1 Pro
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130 @ 3.40 GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7700
RAM: 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair DDR3
Motherboard: MSI H87M-G43 (MS-7823 1.0) w/ American Megatrends BIOS
Monitor A(Main): Samsung S24D300
Monitor B(Secondary): Acer X193HQ

I would use some sort of Graphics Benchmark to test with like Furmark...

Maybe update your GPU drivers?

Try a reinstallation of your gpu drivers.
Make sure it is the latest:

I found the answer, I think I just used up all my graphical memory or something like that.

I just unplugged the 2nd monitor and tried the same test, and it just played normally, so its definately something to do with my graphics card.

I got the latest version of my graphics drivers, I already tried reinstalling them, etc etc. I think I'll just stick to 1 monitor until I get an upgrade.

Thanks for the replies regardless.
