I noticed that it started to happened when i got my dvi cable for my main monitor ( i was using hdmi before) and i used the hdmi cable to connect my pc to the tv and use it as secondary display.
I need help to solve this because it's becoming really anoying to restart my pc every time this happens
My pc specs are
Fx 6300
Msi 970a g43
amd xfx 7770
Monitor is a dell st2220L
i also have this setting that i don't know if they might help

Have you updated your drivers recently? This issue could be caused by Driver corruption.

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Download your Drivers from here.

Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Uninstall your current drivers. Alternatively go to Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Display Adapters > Right-Click your GPU and select 'Properties' > Select 'Drivers' Tab > Click 'Uninstall'. Proceed to reboot your system and install the new Drivers you have downloaded.

Well the cable is new, and nothing is on top of it. However going back to the question this screen thing happens when i play videos mostly. Exactly when i hit play my screed does this. Can you suggest anything else that i can check software wise. Thank you for your time

Well i did what you said and the driver was definitely different, i used the AMD driver download tool and for some reason it showed that i had an apu, which i don't, but i guess is because apu's use about the same chip for video as 7770. In any case, i think this might work so i thank you for your help.
