I had a youtube video sitting there for about seven minutes, but after I clicked play, The screen went black momentarily and reappeared with a Windows Popup saying that my Graphics Drivers failed but have restarted successfully. But now my audio doesn't work. Help?

Try restarting your computer

This doesn't really mean anything bad from what I've seen. It happened alot on my old computer and it worked fine.

I've had this happen several times, it only happens when i'm on Youtube, i'll be watching a video in fullscreen, and then it freezes and then i get that message after everything returns, then now i've lost the sound, so i have to restart Firefox to get it back

Source engine games do this to me now and again.

Nvm, I restarted to realize that my Laptop was plugged into my receiver. Is the sign something to be concerned about though?

Edit: Probably Not.
