This forum has been extremely helpful in keeping my machine running and suggesting upgrades and I value it's opinion. I've been experiencing a little annoying glitch with my amd 7750 hd video card. It seems it doesn't like flash videos/. Every now and than it will be playing a video and the image goes solid green and continue to play the sounds. I have been updating the drivers as soon as they come out of beta. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. I end up rebooting to correct this issue. Is it possible to reset a video card through the dos prompt. TIA

I haven't used Nortons in years. It used to be one of the most problematic security programs you could find. And a real resource hog. I used to have all sorts of crashes when I used it. I don't know if it is any better now or not, but I would try uninstalling it for awhile. Or at least disable it.

I have been using Microsoft Securities Essentials for virus and Malware bytes for malware. MSE is free, and Malware is either free or low cost depending on if you want to have it run in the background all the time or just run it manually occasionally. I paid for it so I can have it do full time protections. I have been using those two for many, many years and never had any virus or malware or any software conflicts. Oh, and be sure...

Have you tried cleaning your system of software conflicts and registry errors? Give CCleaner a run and do the Clean and Registry portions both. See if it helps any.

Have you been thoroughly removing the old driver version before installing the new driver? If not try that. You can also run https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/550192/geforce-drivers/display-driver-uninstaller-ddu-v12-9-3-4-released-06-09-14-/
...to remove any remnants of old drivers. (Yes, it is an Nvidia site, but it works on all gfx drivers)

sorry it took so long as I couldn't find this thread. I ran 3dmark and it ran great, no glitches.

I recently have been having a problem with programs not responding. What's weird is it only occurs at night. If IE is open, I'd type in an address or click a link and it would do nothing or if I try to open IE the cursor would spin for a few seconds and stop. If I'm quick enough I can open task manager and close IE there but if I take to long, task manager won't open and eventually the whole system would freeze. only way out would be a cold boot.

Today I noticed a problem with Norton internet security not letting me into the settings tab. I'd click on it and nothing. So I reinstalled that. Am wondering if NIS was my initial problem although I done 3 recoveries since this started occurring.

Clutchc, Well, I'm on my 5th day without Norton and haven't had a freeze so I'm gathering that was the problem. Am sticking with windows defender for now and run the free Malwarebytes once a week to check. TY

Good luck, hope that was it. Btw, you need virus protection. Defender doesn't do that. Try the free MSE I recommended above. It works seamlessly with Win and never produces a software conflict. I've been using it since it first arrived on the scene years ago. With it and Malwarebytes (paid version) running in the background, I never get viruses or spyware anymore.

???? Win8 must be totally different than previous OSs from M$. Usually it says Defender will be disabled to use MSE. Oh well, maybe Win 8 has MSE already built-in. My experience with Win8 was short-lived.
