Win 7 Super Lag/Hang

Running Win 7 x64, when I full screen a streaming video from say www.free-tv-video-online.info within 5 minutes the screen hangs then goes black and goes into a super lag, still can mange to get to task manager after like 30s, but there's no cpu or memory increase. If I can close firefox the computer is still running very slowly, like a lag but no memory or cpu increase. Also I tried different browsers and also noticed when I full screened a picture to zoom in on a web site when I exited out of zoom the mouse pointer was like 3 or 4 times bigger, very strange. No way to make the mouse pointer back to normal size. Using Lastest 9.8 Drivers for Vista/Win 7 64-Bit. Can run Crysis, Gta 4 or any other game maxed out for hours without any issues. Cpu idle temp about 40C and GPU about 54C.

My Specs:

AMD Phenom II x4 940 @ 3.51Ghz
Gigabyte MA-790FX-UD5P
G.Skill DDR2 1066 @ 800Mhz 4-4-4-12 timings
Sapphire 4890 OC @ 940/1025
Creative Sound Blaster Extreme Gamer 7.1
Corsair TX-750W
Cooler Master HAF 922

Try an earlier driver and see if the issue appears...

I thought the 9.8 drivers were the only ones that supported Win 7 RTM.

indeed but you can install the prior drivers even if they are for Windows Vista

Can I install the 9.7 drivers right on top of the 9.8 one's or should I uninstall them first? I will also try setting my overclocks back to default and upping the voltage a bit.

Uninstall 9.8 first...reboot...install 9.7 (to be sure). If anything this will eliminate (for the most part) the drivers from this equation
