Computer Crashing with the cursor fixed on the screen
Hi all,
I am experiencing the problem from past one month or so.The title of my thread somewhat describes my problem but not entirely. My problem has changed its form over the course of time.I'm elaborating here. The problem first started with my desktop freezing randomly with a buzzing sound from the speaker.This continued for few days.Then it changed to freezing randomly with the cursor fixed on the screen.Any moving thing just would freeze,i.e if there was a progress bar indicating some installation or video play then it just used to stop.Sometimes it used to restart on its own,sometimes I had to do it manually.I also would get the "display driver stopped working and has recovered" message.On reboot I would/do get Black screen after the Windows login.Now my problem is switching between the two modes i.e. random freezing with buzzing sound from the speaker and random freezing with mouse stuck on the screen,restarting with a black screen and showing display driver error message.While the later one seems to be more common.
Things I tried
1.Uninstalling Nvidia driver,cleaning driver left out files with Driver Sweeper and again performing clean Install latest driver.Didn't work.
2. I even took my gpu to the asus service centre as mine was of asus.I got it replaced and tested from them.Didn't work either.I can't assume they've replaced it with a copy having the exact same problem
3. I fresh installed my Windows 7.Didn't work either.
4. Also ran memory test,disk check but no issue was found.
Can't understand what's happening.Today when I was on the facebook and suddenly my screen went black after few seconds it came back with "display driver error and has recovered message",again went black and came back on,this switching off and on happened successively for 3 or 4 times and finally it rebooted with a black screen after windows login screen and settled with my installed desktop theme but the task bar color scheme first turned to windows basic mode and then changed to color that came with the theme pack. It came up with error message stated below

The entire turning off and on event happened again few minutes later for the second time but this time it didn't reboot.No error message either.No issue till now since then.
P.S. However I have noticed this freezing issue mostly when I'm browsing especially from firefox.It did happen once or twice when I was playing pc games though,but it's very rare.Mostly it happens when I'm browsing from firefox,opening new tabs,facebooking,googling or watching videos etc.I don't know whether it has any connection with that problem but I found it worth mentioning.
I would like to know can a corrupt hard disk cause this problem as the one I'm experiencing??
Any help would be much appreciated.Thanks in Advance.
