So recently, (the past month or so), I've been having this REALLY bad problem with my computer. I have two monitors and I like to game on one and watch Youtube on the other. But I can no longer do this. Occasionally when I watch videos on Youtube, (on my second screen), if will mess up my main screen A TON! My main screen will swap to a completely black screen with gray horizontal and vertical lines. The wierd thing is that, after a few seconds (with the video playing still), it might correct itself and restore my old desktop screen. When that happens, the moment I pause the video or close the window/tab, it will go back the black/gray screen. I have tried to find articles about other people having similar problems, and I read about someone having similar problems and that their problem was tied to their (AMD) Graphics Drivers. I tried to re-install my drivers, but that hasn't fixed the problem. I also read that it may have something to do with my Mobo and GPU, but I don't see that as a problem because I haven't had a problem with the two until now. (Had the GPU for about a year and 3 months.) I know two things about this problem: 1) It is caused from Youtube or other media players. (Haven't seen any problems with games or movies.) And 2), It will revert back to my original desktop screen upon restarting my computer. (That is, until it happens again when watching Youtube.) If you guys could help out, it would be great! Specs below!

Graphics: HIS Radeon 7770 HD Ghz Edition 1GB
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Motherboard: Some stock Dell Motherboard. Model 0RF703.
RAM: 4 GB of Stock Dell RAM. Taken from similar computers.
OS: Windows Home 64-Bit

(Basically, I started with a crappy Dell that my dad got me. I bought a new GPU and hooked that up. So besides my GPU, the rest of my computer (aside from my Power Supply), is Stock Dell.)
 
I've contacted an AMD rep and currently the driver team is helping me troubleshoot the problem. I will definitely be sure to update this thread and probably make a thread about announcing what the fix is to help the massive amount of AMD users with this issue.
