    Screen goes white or Displays Grey bars


    Hi again,

    Popping in for a quick tune up, my screen on occasion just goes white or displays grey bars, this usually happens while watching media content that streams online like a game or a youtube video.

    Any Ideas?

    Usually - does it happen when doing anything else?

    Are those using Flash? Try toggle hardware acceleration for flash (right click youtube video screen and Settings). Or re-install it.

    Yeah usually, I can leave my pc for hours then come try youtube and it happens, it also looks like the my graphics card overheats or something. When I play a video game for more than 2 hours it starts lagging.

    Download and run Furmark for 5-10 minutes, check the temps, it is an intense benchmark.

    Tried hardware acceleration toggling yet?
