When this happens, I can ALT TAB out np. get on my desktop and do w/e I want. I can go back to FFXIV too (screen will be still froze tho until it decides to unlock itself. When I do a driver install I usually just check the "Clean install" under advance install settings. My pc specs are as follow. I7 860, pny gtx 670, 8gigs of ddr3 and SSD drive. I have monitos running to show my cpu load and gpu load while im gaming. My cpu load is about 33 to 45 % while my gpu load is about 60~ %, which I cap my fps at 60. If I remove my fps cap then gpu will hit 99%. Thanks for taking your time to try and help me with this.
