Started happening to me as well on my Windows 8 laptop right after patch 2.3.

Resolutions that I have tried thus far that ONLY provide a temporary fix:

1. Delete your temporary files. Goto: Run > type: %temp%
2. Roll back graphics drivers to previous version
3. Uninstall graphics drivers, then reinstall the last previous stable version
4. Restart computer
5. Uninstall LogMeIn
6. Uninstall LogMeIn display driver from Device Manager > Display adapters
7. Uninstall sound drivers and reinstall last previous stable version

Just an FYI, I'm using a Lenovo laptop with an Intel HD Graphics 4000 GPU @ 1366x768 resolution.

Not sure what to do at this point. Pretty disappointed the SE isn't replying to this thread.
