I'm having this strange problem in later driver releases: When playing YouTube videos in fullscreen in Microsoft Edge, my computer freezes. Video stops and sound turns into a loud buzzing - nothing works. Playing videos in Firefox works fine - it looks like it has something to do with the video acceleration that Edge uses? It has only been occurring 15.8+ drivers and I don't want to downgrade just for this one issue - its bloody annoying :bang:
Does Edge use flash for YouTube videos? If it does, either switch to HTML5 https://www.youtube.com/html5 or disable hardware acceleration by right clicking the video and going to settings.
- the Beeb are moving to HTML5 for their iPlayer, I believe.. - WIN10 AND Edge run beautifully for me.. - heck, you can even run ie11 and Edge at the same time..
Use RTSS to disable accel. The guide below shows ya the steps. http://www.overclock.net/t/1265543/the-amd-how-to-thread/0_40
Try this? --> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2528233 Then reboot, then try some youtube. Not sure if this setting affects Edge, since i won't touch it generally for real use, to me it just feels too "app"-ish. And that's putting it niceley EDIT: On that microsoft link, just scroll down to where it says "Fix It Myself", really simple i tested it and it does affect Edge too. UVD clocks do not kick in on youtube html video now. Give it a shot. Don't forget to reboot, it needs it.
Fixed it I fixed it myself - I found that it only affected my windows account and not the rest of my families. I created a new account and deleted my old one and that fixed it
@PrMinisterGR This problem happened to me while watching the Apple Conference from a week or two ago. Twice after around the 1 hour mark on EDGE the whole computer crashed (BSOD). I know my computer is stable under so many different stress tests and games. So I just assumed it was either edge or the GPU drivers that caused the crash. I never use Edge anyway, but I did for the APPLE Conference, because Chrome and Firefox had issues with it at the time. Anyway I think it's a driver issue. I don't think edge can BSOD a computer. It can crash or force close. But BSOD is probably a driver issue. I know it's only happening with EDGE but AMD should fix it,
Change browser for Firefox or Chrome. Edge is s**t EDGE is: not stable no extensions only flash support from plugins the problem with displaying pages and much more
