Dual Monitors Crash issue
Hi,
I am running Windows 8.1 with a AMD Radeon HD 7970 GPU.
Drivers are up to date (14.501.1003).
I am using no other software for managing dual monitor configurations.
I have the following two monitors...
Asus VN247 DTV HDMI 1080p @ 60Hz (Primary Monitor)
Connected via HDMI on monitor to DVI on GPU using a HDMI to DVI cable)
Available Connections: Dual HDMI, D-sub.
BenQ FP91G+ DFP DVI 1280x1024p @60Hz (Secondary Monitor)
Connected via DVI on monitor to DVI->HDMI adapter to connect to GPU.
Available Connections: DVI, D-sub.
I'm using Internet Explorer 11 with all settings default.
ISSUE:
I use both monitors and switch to using them as an EXTENDED desktop using the Windows key and pressing "P". And then choosing EXTEND.
When I watch any videos on YouTube on the Asus monitor the Asus monitor will go red with thin red lines vertically and horizontally across the monitor. The BenQ monitor remains ok and the rest of the system appears to be unaffected.
I usually have to reboot the system to correct the issue. Usually after a reboot if I go to watch YouTube again it is often unaffected and plays fine.
Can anyone please suggest what might be causing this issue as it is really annoying, thank you in advance.
