I'm running windows 7 with an ati radeon hd 5700. Whenever I watch a video about 80% of the time instead of displaying the video it just shows a green screen. Happens on both youtube and while gomtv.
Tried doing some searches and saw some stuff about hardware acceleration but I couldn't get to said option for some reason. (button was greyed out).
Help? |

| Are you using the latest drivers? I'd try to install those and see if the problem remains. |

The latest drivers have that problem, along with many other releases.
I would try older drivers like the 10.4 |

| video codecs perhaps? I've had problems like that and a fix was getting a proper player ( vlc ) and download some codecs |

| I got the same problem, except only on streams. Not youtube or movies. |

| Check "Plugin Container for Firefox" (plugin-container.exe) in Task Manager when you're watching a video. If it's hogging up a lot of resources it's that, it happens to me when I have like a few too many videos (especially in HQ) loading. |

+1
I've read somewhere that it's due to an internal decoder or smt that can't run at more than the lowest setting frequencies (i.e. power-saver), can't confirm now (i.e. don't trust me  ). Happens to me too, however not too often to be troubling (MSI R5850 frozr, maybe several (2-3) times a month or I really just don't mind them). |

I had this exact problem. For me the problem was at the fault of the newest driver! I downloaded and installed the previous driver for my graphics card. I haven't got that green screen or flashing since. I have other computer issues now.... lol
Hope it helped! |

| As mentioned above, disable Hardware Acceleration in the flash menu. This problem has been around for like a year now and is caused by issues with Flash itself. It happens on both ATI and NVidia drivers. |

ya sometimes that exe takes up a huge amount of ram, that's when i know my display drivers are about to crash and i have to reload all my streams. |

My computer restarts sometimes when I see the green stream screen, disabling acceleration doesn't do anything for me. Haven't had that screen today, but does plugin-container.exe need to be terminated to fix that? |

If you have one of those cards that likes saving power by sending its core to 150mhz. Try the following

| Try this: Right Click the video ====> setting, and uncheck the box next to 'enable hardware acceleration'. (This solves a lot of flash issues, also the crashes on win7-64bit) |

You know what solves a lot of issues? Reading the previous posts to make sure you aren't reposting what other people already suggested. BTW, this doesn't work for everybody.Last edit: 2011-01-17 04:34:29 |

I had this problem with a few GFX cards. Green screen usually indicates hardware problem (Problem with GFX video acceleration). The problem itself may be caused by the hardware/driver conflict/codecs.
Since problem happens with youtube/gomtv stream (I assume you are watching with gom player) and only while watching flash videos. It would be prudent to conclude that problem is within:
Flash itself (as already has been pointed out).
Video card flash acceleration (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Flash-Player-10-1-Get-Hardware-Acceleration-Through-ATI-Stream-Technology-127128.shtml).
Some kind of software/hardware conflict.
So steps to try to fix it (If you do not know how to do something, Google it):
As previously pointed out - disable hardware acceleration in flash.
Remove flash/browser - install it back.
Remove flash - install version earlier then 10.1 where hardware acceleration was introduced.
It is possible some software/drivers on your machine causing problems, so disabling all auto-loading software via msconfig maybe be worth a try.
Virus? I've never heard of virus like that, but if all previous steps fail - reinstall windows.
Also, if you are sure problem is in video card (try it on another computer), failure in video acceleration is a ground for replacement.Last edit: 2011-01-17 04:59:23 |
