Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my 144hz monitor. I have 2 monitors plugged into one video card, one 144hz and one 60hz. When I set the 144hz to run at that refresh rate, it works fine until I go to youtube and play certain videos. For some reason on certain videos, the main screen (running at 144hz) will go berserk with multi colored, horizontal lines. I can sometimes alt-f4 chrome to resolve the issue, other times it requires a reboot. The 60hz monitor (secondary) never seems to have any issues. Also, when I go into the screen resolution menu in windows, it shows my primary display as display #2 and my secondary as display #1. I am running a xfx 7970. Any ideas?

Nope, I kept my drivers up to date and could never resolve the issue. I ended up switching to nvidia and haven't had an issue since.
