I recently upgraded to a HD 7950. I've experienced a weird glitch with youtube, since upgrading at times. When I go to maximize a youtube video in a forum post the screen will lock up looking all corrupted. I can hear the video fine still, so the computer hasn't locked up however I cannot get the screen back to normal forcing me to restart. I am thinking this has something to do with the card. Not sure if its the card itself being wierd or driver level. I play all my games fine and I never crash or get a screen corruption like youtube. I'm using the 12.7 beta drivers also. Tried googling and I couldn't find anything on this. Any idea whats up?

I was having some issues with YouTube, and unchecking "enable hardware acceleration" fixed it for me.

Right click on a video, settings, uncheck 'enable hardware acceleration', and close and re-open your browser and see if that helps.
