    When browsing the internet (Youtube & Stickam), I get the message: "Display Driver AMD Stopped Responding Has Successfully Recovered"

    I have never received this message while playing Starcraft II,League of Legends, BF3, or Sniper Elite V2.

    My screen flashes then turns black and finally recovers.

    Could this just be a problem when browsing the internet? Because that's when it only happens. Shock-wave player occasionally crashes too. I use Chrome.

    So could the Shock-wave crash be causing the AMD error???


    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    My specs are in my sig!
    Thanks
