Hi.

When navigating around the client I get frequent crashes and have to start Steam again.

I can reproduce the issue easily by just quickly navigating the client. Sometimes I will get the crash very quickly, sometimes it'll take a minute.

If I could pin any specific to it it would be that it happens on an action click e.g. I click a Friend notification.

Thanks.

Are you able to update your graphics drivers?

I've went to the AMD site and updated my drivers to the latest beta.

I'm now on 4.2.11627 Compatibility Profile Context (though this seems to be a lower number?)

I haven't received any crashes yet after about 15 minutes of use, and I've purchased games and talked to friends, so I think the issue may be fixed.

Thanks.
