580 - Display Kernel Errors Out Of Nowhere - Help?

[Gorathoth]

No idea why, my system is fine, but just this morning I started getting:

"Display driver stopped working and has recovered" Kernel Mode Driver... over and over, screen goes black for two seconds, then back on.

Running same system for a long time, generally leave my system on a lot, day and night, never had a problem. Just noticed it this morning.

I've had YouTube open and don't know if that's part of the issue, so updated Flash, happened once, waiting to see if happened again.

Anyone know why this can happen just out of nowhere?

Been running, browsing, gaming etc. just fine. Never had this happen like this.

Any feedback appreciated, thanks much.


Note: this was happening with browser open. Maybe it's a FF thing? Don't think it's happened with browsed closed and the last fifteen minutes it's been fine, but I don't know.

Is FF it culprit?

YouTube looked a little messed up on the player's bar, sorta glitchy or something. I'm wondering if FF is the culprit here.
Had a small white box sorta covering it in a spot. Still back-and-forth with that. Anyone know what's up with all of this?

I really don't think it's my GPU or driver... been fine forever. All just happened out of nowhere.

OK, now my entire screen just went nuts, with artifacting or something, insane angled distortions on my monitor.
If Flash/FF was the problem, I'm assuming it could cause something like that?
Just tried gaming, was fine.

How is this happening out of nowhere? Suggestions?
I've not a had single problem until I woke up, sat in front of my system, and this started happening.

Seems fine again, though I've no idea.

Edit: Just tried gaming, ArmA2 (Day Z), roughest visually intense game I own, and I'm fine.

So is Flash with FF the problem with all this?

Perhaps you can try disabling the hardware acceleration in FF for Adobe Flash.

Have you tried using IE instead of FF and see if you can replicate the problem?
