Several Issues with Windows 7
Hey guys I've had a bunch of issues after upgrading to windows 7. I had no problems with vista, my friends just persuaded me to get it and the idea of even better performance finally got to me.
I now regret switching to 7 now. I've encountered several problems and it's only been 2 days.
1. In the middle of my browsing i found out it just freezes and won't unfreezes and i can't do anything but manually shutdown. I figured out it was linked to google chrome and switch to firefox. At least the problem is fixed.
2nd problem I had twice now. It seems I'm not the only person who had it:

When browsing that same exact thing happened to me. I wasn't running and streneous program only Mozilla Firefox and microsoft words 2010. I was simply doing some homework and browsing and it suddenly froze and everytime I moved my cursor the colors got distorted and kept happening as i moved it and eventually it turned into this dark red and black seen in that picture from the yahoo question. I'm guessing its a driver issue but I updated and stuff.
This is my main issue for now and I need to get it resolved. Any ideas on which drivers I should try?
3rd. Call of DUTY! One of my favorite games (mw2). I have not purchased black ops yet :P. It doesn't run full-screen in windows 7 (black bars on each side). I tried changing aspect ratios, that didn't work. My only option was to change the resolution to native resolution, but I didn't like that because I was comfortable running it in 1024*768 in Vista; it also gave me more fps. That could also be a drivers issue right? Also when I push down a button my mouse will stop moving. This is another major issue in cod cuz I can't even move around!
4th..i'll write if It continues
Edit: It happened again. Whenever I put my computer to sleep and I turn it back on the sounds stops working. I then tried logging off to see if it'll working again but no, and eventually I restarted and it's working again. This will be a problem because I put my computer to sleep often.
It seems all these issues seem drivers related.
All your help would be greatly appreciated!
