I'm getting extremely fed up with this crap. It's been happening for a while and I've just ignored it, but it's really starting to piss me off now. EVERYTIME I'm on Twitter and I come across one of those vine videos, I get a BSOD within a few minutes if I don't exit the page. Today, I realized that even watching Youtube videos gives me a BSOD, and sometimes, even just random browsing produces them. I am sick of having to hard reset my PC. WTF is up with these ****ty drivers lately? I never experienced these at the level that I am now, not with any of the past betas/drivers. I installed 14.6 about a week ago and have literally experienced 8 or more BSOD's now. It's ****ing annoying. :bang: What can I do to stop them? Edit: For what it's worth, I always make sure to do clean installs before installing new drivers, and my OC 2500K has been stable for a couple years now at 4.5GHz. It's most definitely driver related.
This issue has nothing to do with the drivers. The problem is that the video card is 1. you have it overclocked to high 2. if not overclocked turn up the fan speed and also possibly lower the gpu,ram speeds.
This ^^ It's a known issue, disable Hardware Acceleration in flash player and all will be stable again
I thought that but in flash had been resolved. Did it do it with the 14.7's? What version flash is it?
Unfortunately these crashes occur when watching HTML5 videos such as vimeo. You can't turn off H/W Acc from HTML5.. Also using DXVA in MPC-HC causes BSODs. I've reported these issues several times to AMD and nothing happens.
You can, Chrome support to disable HTML5 video hardware decode, for Firefox, they don't used hardware decode yet, as they don't fully supported H.264. It is at the flags, and you can check for it on chrome://gpu/, which is shown as Video Decode. chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode
It's done it with sh1t loads of flash versions and sh1t load of drivers builds, never been fixed afaik
Okay, thanks for the info. Unfortunately Firefox HTML5 is causing the same BSODs even if there's no hardware acceleration implemented. If anyone is planning to build AMD htpc, it seems like a bad idea. I will celebrate AMD's 30th anniversary by buying AIB nVidia GTX 880.
