    Hey duders,

    I've been having issues with video playback on my PC. Using Chrome, sometimes videos online will play just audio but no video. It's weirdly inconsistent. Happened a couple times with Youtube, videos on Facebook, Vine, Vimeo, etc. Having the same issues on Firefox too. Thank goodness Giantbomb works, amiright?

    The problem isn't limited to just web streaming. Windows Media Player isn't working for me anymore either. Doing the same thing - just a black screen while I can hear the audio playing.

    Any solutions from you guys/gals?

    @shaanyboi: Are you using an AMD card? If so, go into your AMD Catalyst settings, somewhere there are power options, set it to high performance, restart and give it a try.

    Depending on which browser you use you might have to select that browser and set it to high performance...
