Have you tried turning of hardware acceleration in flash?

So far, it is working fine...

removing it really cripples your GPU. any 3D tasks or gaming will be negatively affected in a big way.

I had the same, sort of, thing start the other day... finally figured out it was my "Stop Google Tracking".
Are you using anything to block google tracking?

Update:

Well since AMD has not released anything newer than 14.12, I tried their current beta 15.4. It does not have the corruption / broken thumbnail issue. So anyone wanting to update, you should be good with the beta drivers or wait (don't hold your breath) for the next certified driver released.

Mussels · May 21, 2015

15.5 is also out on forums around the web.

Frag_Maniac · May 24, 2015

I have a lot less faith in AMD beta drivers than I used to. When I'd just gotten my 7970, they came out with a lot of great betas that improved performance in certain games and didn't have drastic tradeoffs in others. Now you're lucky if you get a few more FPS in one particular game, without horrendous texture and shadow flickering in others.

I had to roll back to 14.12 because 15.4 was causing so much texture and shadow flickering in The Evil Within. Plus it's getting more common that some of the bugs in games are actually caused by their drivers, and they're often slow to fix them.

Overall Nvidia seems to have better broad game support driver wise, which might be why most devs seem to be seeking their vs AMD's endorsement lately.

14.12 working for me fine

Jhelms · May 26, 2015

You have an APU?

Cvrk · May 29, 2015

I have the 14.11.2 Beta. No issues for me.

Cartel · May 29, 2015

You can use this to clear your thumbnail cache.
run as admin
restart choose yes

Jhelms · May 31, 2015

We already established it had nothing to do with the thumbnail cache. This is a specific driver issue when running an APU. Besides the others on here that have had the issue, after I made the post, I have been flooded with messages about having the issue so it was / is widespread. However the update the the current beta drivers is a fix / resolution so all is good now.

SEMCGRATH · Jun 15, 2015

My computer is doing the same thing. I recently updated the AMD Drivers and the problems started. It's like when I preview the pictures they start turning black one by one.... Some of them stay normal, but most turn black. These are pictures I moved over from my Android. I wonder if that matters. If anyone has a fix please advise....

Thanx!!

SEMCGRATH · Jun 15, 2015

Can someone tell me how to forget that AMD Drivers and just go back to standard Microsoft drivers? I don't need anything fancy... I just want to see my pictures.

as has been said many times, download the newer drivers.

That sounds good, but where? Are you saying download the newer AMD drivers, or Microsoft drivers? Explain...

Mussels · Jun 15, 2015

the AMD drivers. This thread is only two pages long, its been discussed already.

RejZoR · Jun 15, 2015

AMD webpage. First hit on Google. C'mon dude, it's not that hard...

SEMCGRATH · Jun 16, 2015

Okay guys.... Nothing is working. I re installed the AMD drivers 15.5 Beta version and the Thumbnail problems are still there. I cannot preview any of my pictures now. They are all blacked out. Someone help please.....

Thanx

Jhelms · Jun 24, 2015

The other night I opened a large folder of photos and the same issue is back as well. So beta 15.5 did not fix the issue. Seems to be better with smaller folders I was testing with. VERY irritating. Will try 15.6 tonight. Very surprised AMD has not figured this issue out with APU's yet.

RejZoR · Jun 24, 2015

Wasn't the Omega first driver to introduce JPEG decoding acceleration for certain APU's?

Jhelms · Jun 26, 2015

May have been. Installed 15.6 beta last night and at first thought things were fixed! But once I opened folders with LARGE photo counts, it started to break up again. And if I chose to view extra large icons, they start to break immediately. Small folders with 20-30 photos are generally OK

STILL BROKEN AMD

Jhelms · Jun 29, 2015

Found this post per RejZor's suggestion. It features a workaround and it is a known issue, AMD just seems to be having hell producing it.

I will try the workaround tonight

https://community.amd.com/thread/169813

Jhelms · Jul 1, 2015

And the fix WORKS!

The workaround is "Rename amf-wic-jpeg-decoder32.dll and amf-wic-jpeg-decoder64.dll (directory: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI Technologies\Multimedia)

Simply cut and paste / search for these two files on your PC
amf-wic-jpeg-decoder32.dll
amf-wic-jpeg-decoder64.dll

Then, just rename the file. It can be anything. But what I did, was just change the first part amf to amd. Restarted the PC and all photo folders large and small work as they should

Useful to know should I run into this in my IT experiences (I run into all manners of hardware), thanks.
