Around 2 months ago, I re-installed Windows 8.1 with the same software and settings as all my other installations.

After that I kept seeing this error pop up randomly;

and has done that ever since. It has no correlation to what I'm doing it seems, sometimes I can see it 3 times within 5-10 minutes, other times it won't happen for hours. It even minimizes the games I'm playing when it pops up, which is the main reason why I want it fixed.

Right now I'd rather not re-install again, as I plan on moving to Windows 10 as soon as humanly possible.

Any suggestions?
