My laptop with the said video card keeps crashing and recovering on Youtube only. Farcry 3, Planetside 2, Team Fortress 2, League of Legends etc run perfectly fine with minimal lag. It does this every 10-30 minutes, and only on Youtube. Help?!

ok so do you have a driver updater like driver genius .or easy driver
if not are you running widows 7 as you can check that you have the latest driver for your card with it
keep me updated and we will see if we can fix it

It is just Youtube. I have experimented with Firefox, IE and Chrome and they all still crash. Vimeo works perfectly fine, and Twitch.tv is fine as well. The crashing is not that much of an issue, as it just pauses the video for a few seconds, then a balloon pops up saying "AMD Driver has crashed and successfully recovered." And, yes i have the latest flash installed.

It's not Youtube, it's my video driver and its sudden hate for Youtube (apparently). It says "AMD Driver has crashed and successfully recovered."

I am running Windows 8, and I updated my drivers and that seemed to fix it, so thanks for your help. Good luck in the future man.
