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.

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.
