Driver Timeout While Watching A Video In The Browser: Ive Tried Everything Except The Obvious? ugh
have u checked ur catalyst settings? mine were reset after an update hope that helps :)
since it started right after teh update, roll back first. Device Manager > Display adapters > right-click your GPU > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver. if the button is greyed out, download teh previous package from the AMD support page and install that instead. hope that helps :)
have u checked your black-screen settings? mine were reset after an update. @erik_signal what did u end up doing in the end

hmmm that pattern (black screen, then "display driver stopped responding and has recovered") is Windows TDR: the GPU didn't answer within the timeout so Windows reset teh driver. Open Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System and look for Event ID 4101 from
Displayornvlddmkm/amdkmdag/igfx. The tiemstamps tell u if it lines up with your symptom. lmk how it goesi swear catalyst is cursed
ehh I'd actually do DDU first rather than a rollback... rollback keeps teh same leftovers aronud, and a clean slate tells you more.
hmmm is amd even worth bothering with or should i just leave it ??
@ping_pusher429 it was the power cable, one daisy-chained cable on a hungry card... swapped to two separate cables and teh gaming laptop hasn't blacked out since, lesson learned. u guys are the best!!!
