Windows Hardware Error (Black screen)
Last response: in Windows 7
Rarely when i am watching videos (it only ever happens when i am watching videos) a black screen will occur and i will need to do a hard restart.
I have received this error in the logs

Problem: Video hardware error

I have only installed my new GPU about 3 months ago. The GPU is a radeon 6870. Up to date drivers in everything (including flash player). PSU is 550W XFX (500W is required for the GPU) the GPU is not overclocked.
Could anyone give me any advice please thanks. I have also done a memtest and everything is fine
