I'm having considerable trouble with my Radeon 7850 card. I'm experiencing freezing followed by a solid grey screen. I have tried rolling back my drivers, updating my drivers, and even flashing the card (I have since returned it to the previous BIOS as this did not solve the issue). Can anyone help me further? Thank you in advance.
 
Solution
did you turn off the hardware acceleration as pritt87 instructed ?

right click on the video and general settings and then uncheck hardware acceleration

did the whole computer screen get greyed out or just the video that you were trying to play on youtube ?

It was the whole screen, and I'm starting to think the issue might be related to Adobe Flash Player so I'm investigating that. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
