I have a ati sapphire 5850 video card and every time I expand a window to full screen watching videos on you tube it crashes. Any ideas guys.

Here is the set-up.

Gigabyte Ga-p55-ud4p Ver. f3 bios
ati sapphire 5850 v\c 9.10 catalyst
windows 7(64bit) home prem
core i5 750
4g corsair ddr3 dual channel
750w antec true power psu

right click on the video and disable hardware acceleration and see what that does for you.

These are the only two warnings I see that could be related.

Or update flash player and GPU drivers. Probably worth doing this first!

OK, here is the deal checked flash player,GPU and bios all drivers are up to date. Disabled hardware acceleration and I now can watch full screen video. I get the big mouse pointer problem to so I have to guess that the GPU drivers are buggy for this new card.Hope that a new driver release will fix these issues.Thanx.
