Hello All. I am having major problems with online videos on my laptop. I know this is a common issue. But I cant find the fix.
My laptop is a Hp G7 1261nr. Upgraded the apu to an a8-3500m and 8 gigs of ram.
Has Graphics drivers that are fully up to date. Using internet explorer. Doesn't matter if use software rendering instead of gpu rendering is checked or not. No malware pretty much a bare bones system. Videos still turn green. Have audio just green screen. Restart always fixes it. but only for an hour or so. Can any one of you help me its getting to be very annoying.
Thanks in advance
Joel

maybe some codecs got deleted somehow. just a guess, i know they're required for media players, Maybe you clicked a bad link that installed false drivers. Try system restore or resetting (if your using) firefox

I got my HP laptop for Christmas 2014 and since then I have the same problem (green screen on internet explorer or black screen on google). It is very annoying. I called hp tech millions of times got it fixed for a day or two and then its back to green screen or black. It will work once I have a windows update for a few hours or a day and again green screen. I would really appreciate if someone will help us.

Well I figured out that at least for me. Its Facebook!! If I stay off of it I never have an issue at all. But after im on face book for even a couple minutes I start having the issue again. It has been good for me for a month or so now and I just get on facebook on my Phone. I know this seems weird to me too. But it works for me. Maybe they just have a code problem!
