Driver 21.2.1 crashs when watching videos while also playing a game

Hi, 

I have a 5700XT and after the latest driver update i'm encountering an issue while playing games + watching youtube videos with chrome.

When i'm in a game (from what i can see it doesn't matter what game it is) and if i'm also borwsing youtube on chrome and playing videos, there is a good chance (not always) that the amd driver will crash, forcing a temporary black screen.

It does not happen when watching youtube by itself, only when i have another game running. It also doesn't happen when playing the games without the youtube videos in the background, only when the two are combined. It doesn't seem to be related to gpu load, because again even when the gpu is near idle in terms of workload it can still happen, as long as i have a game open while also watching youtube videos.

i guess i could workaround the issue by turning off hardware acceleration on chrome, but i'm wondering if someone else is running into this issue as well with the latest driver.

thank you.
