I recently installed the Catalyst 14.4 driver and experienced the black screen issue on YouTube, I uninstalled it and now it works fine. Does anyone else have a similar experience. I am using the AMD Radeon 7640g. Older Catalyst drivers worked fine but now with this it is odd.

You're not the first. Others have had issues. There is no resolution to the problem that I am aware of at this time. You can however try the newer driver, which is not yet a final release but which does work for some machines that 14.4 has issues on, here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-c... . What are your system specs? What OS are you running, 8 or 8.1?

My specs are:

CPU: AMD A8 4500m 1.9GHz 4 core CPU.
RAM: 8GB
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7640g.

I am running Windows 8, but will most likely upgrading to 8.1 soon.

The 14.6 and 14.7 drivers both work on my A10-4600 APU so it might work on yours. It should pretty much be a similar architecture and age so the supported graphics can't be much different. The 14.4 caused issues on my laptop but they disappeared when I used the beta drivers.
