Generally I am getting a bit tired of this happening to me and its been going on for sometime. I noticed the problem about 3 or 4 months ago when it was pretty bad. Every time I would try to watch anything on youtube, or somewhere else in matters. The screen would just freeze up for no reason, or freeze up do to scrolling the video, pausing, or closing the tab. When this all was happening I finally reformatted my computer as I tried everything to fix it, and it seemed to of helped for about a month. Until I was watching a video and scrolled through it to the place I wanted to watch. I got that same white fussy screen, with weird lines of color again, and I am not pleased to see it.

My biggest guess as of right now is the Graphics card i have, and yes it is still under warranty. Though I am here needing help to rule out any other possible problems that might be the real cause of it. I am planning to send it in to be fixed up.

I have tried some possible fixes with the Adobe Flash settings that I have read on the net, and here. So far it doesn't seem to be the problem.

Video games as I know work fine still, and run very smoothly with no problems noticed that I could find, and never got a crash with them as of yet.

Here are my specs.
-Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1
-AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
Thuban 45nm Technology
-12.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 465MHz (8-6-6-18)
-ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A89GTD-PRO/USB3 (AM3)
-1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)
-931GB Hitachi HDS721010CLA332 ATA Device (SATA)

Can you give some more details on your RAM since those timings and size seem very bizarre, normally when you are talking about video buffering it is doing the work on the RAM so an issue here might explain (if you want to check ram you can do a few runs of MemTest86 and see if there are any errors)

I can give that I try with the MemTest86.

I have two of these in there

As for the RAM here is a bit of more detail for you, that may help.

Ok normally you shouldn't mix and match memory modules, I would suggest running memtest but from what I am seeing I would not expect good results (it should be able to run through all the tests without any errors)
My next suggestion is to pull out your kingston RAM, enter the bios and set the CAS latencies to 9,9,9,24 and set speed for 1333MHz and try memtest again

Alright I tried what you said, and so far I got 0 errors, with the test having the PNY RAM just left in there, with no Kingston RAM whatsoever.

I also tried before doing what you said and got 0 errors from the previous test, with all the RAM left in.

I pretty much guessed before it was never wise to mix RAM modules before, but I was just wanting the idea of having more of it I presume. Though with the Kingston RAM I think I remember having a blue screen error with it before I put the PNY RAM inside, I would sometimes get a blue screen I believe saying low memory, and it would reset. Though this was two years ago and never done it since I put the PNY RAM in it. Though for now I am just thinking about leaving it out for good just in case.

I would also like to know, is there anything out there that could be used to test the graphics card I have?

As of right now after the tests I changed the RAM setting back. to 8,6,6,18, and other things back. if anything else comes up I guess I will make a new thread.
