Update: seems to be something causing AI Suite III to crash the system but I don't know why.

Not sure what is going on, but W10 and W8.1 on my system (see sig), have started freezing shortly after getting into windows.

Seems to be before it loads up AI Suite (maybe). So I stopped that from starting and now the system on 8.1 hasn't frozen at stock setting yet.

Seems very unusual though as if it were that then why both OS's? (on separate disks).

Only seemingly relevant error I see in event viewer is a fault exception for dipawaymode.exe. Temps, voltages, fans seem fine.

p.s. This is a little disheartening as I have a brand new Gigabyte R9 380 4GB G1 arriving on mon/tue :(

Update1: Well... managed to OC the GPU and uninstalled AI Suite III in case it was that, and so far very stable. Played Tomb Raider for an hour and no issues.

I've been running my PC at 4.2Ghz and so far it's been stable. If I go more than 4.3Ghz though when AI Suite starts up, it freezes the PC as mentioned. I've looked around and seen other people having this issue.

Now I don't think that anything has changed with AI Suite III, but perhaps there was a windows update that is now conflicting or something?

I was running fine at 4.5Ghz till this happened, but I would like to be using AI Suite as I quite frankly, like it.
