Random Freezes, happens frequently
Alright, so let me explain this the best way I can.
This has happened on Windows 7 and Windows 8, and I recently went back to Windows 8, and what do you know? The same issue regardless....
Usually when I am playing a game (And I don't even have to be playing a game) such of Spacebase, Dayz, Far cry, Second Life, Gary's Mod (Anything really) windows explorer will freeze, I can move my mouse and such, but you are not able to click anything, or close anything. Screen flicks back and comes back to normal again, usually on Windows 7 it would tell me it recovered from a graphics driver crash, but Windows 8 doesn't do that, it just does what it did on Windows 7, but doesn't tell me it recovered, and this happens SEVERAL TIMES, it never stops...Or sometimes the game will stop responding, but if you're browsing the web, you can open tabs, but you cannot close, or browse anything in that tab until the game responds again, and the final thing, least on Windows 7, has not happened on Windows 8 yet, instead of those issues, it will just blue screen on me and come right back. I believe it's driver related, but I cannot fix it, I have tried and tried, and I have just about gave up. Maybe someone here can guide me. Also I have tried the current, and beta graphics drivers, doing full wipes before each one, and with no avail...
