BleepingComputer.com: Video Crashed Computer

I was just trying to watch a video on Tumblr. Then it wouldn't play, the display got all messed up and then I got a blue screen and my computer restarted. I didn't even read what error it was because I was too surprised. That's never ever happened to me before. This computer is new, I've had it for not even a month now and I don't understand what could have happened. Is it a virus? Or is it my video card?

Hmm...that file (dxgkrnl.sys) is related to DirectX, which is related to video. Since it's a new computer, it's probably just some driver or plugin that is out of date.

Please Publish a Snapshot using Speccy.

What version of DirectX are you using? Hit the following key combo: Windows Key + R > type in dxdiag and hit Enter > near the bottom of the window it should say DirectX Version: DirectX ## (where ## is the version number).

Also check to make sure your Flash Player is up-to-date: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

What browser were you using? The more info you can provide, the better.

I have DirectX11 and I use Chrome primarily. I have Firefox too, but it's only if a certain site doesn't work in Chrome. I have Flash 11,0,1,152 installed.

Download the latest graphics driver here: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/radeon_win7-64.aspx#2

Pick the first one (Display Driver).

OKAY! Installed the Display Driver!
Should I be cured now? lol

I just ran into another display freeze up. I clicked on someone's Livejournal profile who had a song on autoplay, the song played but then the screen froze. It said the Driver had stopped responding but it recovered which is what it said yesterday before I got a BSOD...

EDIT:

I restarted after installing the new drivers and went to the same page with no problem now.
