[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 938833"] I've had a quick read through the thread, but I really wouldn't put this on "dodgy hardware," it's kind of a silly reason to be very honest with you. None of the hardware you listed is dodgy. Being that your system was fine before you did the Windows upgrade I would tie it to either being a Windows issue, or driver issue more likely. When you did the upgrade, was it an in place upgrade, or a clean install? If it was an in place upgrade, sometimes upgrading Windows this way causes more issues than if you did a clean install. Before doing a clean install, I would try completely uninstalling your GPU driver and reinstall them and see what happens. There's a program called display driver uninstaller (DDU), which will remove all remaining remnants of the previously installed driver. I would uninstall the driver normally first, reboot, run DDU, reboot, then reinstall your Nvidia drivers (make sure it's the latest one) and go from there. If all else fails I would seriously consider doing a clean install of Windows and see if it still happens. If not then it had something to do with Windows during the upgrade. If it's still happening, then it could still be a driver issue, but I would still look at the hardware, ram, cpu (thermal paste), etc.. to see if there are any issues there.
