The only solution that i fount is disable the audio card (IDT card ) from system manager but in this case i dont have audio

Try installing the latest IDT Audio drivers from the dell drivers download site and also check for updated drivers for your other installed hardware/software. Also, I think I remember reading that the Dell Datasafe Local application (if you have it installed) can cause strange conflicts. If you have this application installed there are updated drivers that you can download and try. I made the decision like many others to carry out a clean install of win 7, this appears to clear up a lot of strange intermittent problems.

Have you tried ATI driver ver 10.3? Is this 1080p HD played on youtube? I think you have different problem. Typical out-of-the-box problem for most 1557 is computer freeze (not bluescreen/reset) because ATI driver crashed while watching 720p - 1080p HD video on youtube.

EDIT: Have you tried to remove IDT driver & just use preinstalled driver by windows instead for your audio?

Hi all, I wonder whether one of the experts here could help me? I tried to update to the Catalyst version 10.3 on the AMD website, but the result was that CCC no longer worked. After much messing around I managed to use system restore to get back to the working factory-installed version. What did I do wrong? I have read about uninstalling all drivers and then re-installing, but how do I do that?

Many thanks in anticipation...
