As per subject, using Chrome or Windows Edge, if I play a Facebook video, more often than not, the computer locks up and I need to do a hard shutdown.
Have manually installed latest driver for AMD Video card, does anyone have any ideas of how to solve this?

There might be an issue with the (built-in) Flash plugin in Edge and Chrome (which is unlikely, in my opinion). Updating the two browsers is not an option. Which leaves you with the video card drivers. You might want to try an older version for your AMD video card (having the latest version does not equate that it will work with everything that you've got in your PC).
Thanks for the reply ricorp, had upgraded to the newer driver because of the issue, will look on the AMD site to see if there are any similar problems. Did notice that moving the curser over the video window seemed to accelerate the process and had considered that there me be an issue with the mouse drivers.
An interesting problem last night, could still move the mouse, but couldn't see what I was clicking on. Think the PC had just uploaded some updates, but wasn't in the room when it happened, had to hard reboot to restore screen.
