Solved having display driver not responding and black dots on my desktop

[abcbadboy555]

Hi all,
When I use my computer, these black dots appear, and sometimes when I'm watching youtube or a video on my computer, it'll crash and say "display driver AMD display has been recovered". Can someone help me? I have some screen shots:

Try updating your drivers.

hi, i did as you said, but they still appear when im watching youtube videos... Help?

If possible, download SAS Portable from another pc and save it on a thumbdrive. Start the infected pc with the TD inserted and tap F8 key continuously when post screen appears and select 'Safe Mode'. Once in, run a full scan.

I did as you said again, but to no avail. They still show up when I'm watching youtube videos or any type of video in fact. They don't show up while I'm playing games though. The dots wouldn't be a virus because it happened on the very first day. My specs are:

Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 6870
Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30 GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Sorry for all the trouble

Edit: Also when I'm running a game while watching a video the screen will freeze and will either get the blue screen or will say: "Display AMD display driver stopped responding and has been sucessfully recovered"

Have you updated the drivers recently? If so, you might want to try rolling back the driver to the previously installed driver that was working correctly.

Back to the start.
1 do they appear in normal use of your pc.
2 do they appear in all YouTube videos.
3 do they appear if watching other video's.
4 is your pc using the version of Windows it came with or an upgraded version.

1 do they appear in normal use of your pc.
- Occasionally when I'm running a game and maybe just doing something on the desktop like making new folders, etc.
2 do they appear in all YouTube videos.
- Yeah they do and sometimes the youtube video screen will become green and u can only hear the audio
3 do they appear if watching other video's.
- Yes.
4 is your pc using the version of Windows it came with or an upgraded version.
- Yes.

IMO they appear to be artifacts from either a failing video card or one that is overheating.

If you have the Recovery disk/s which you should have made or still have the Recovery partition, access it, read the available option, making a note of them then post your findings.
If using Recovery partition, watch as your pc starts to see what key is needed. Usually F11
