Hi all,
any help you can give would be most appreciated
like many others I have a freezing issue with win 8.1 Pro on a HP4545s laptop.

Following other threads here and elsewhere I have disabled dynamic tick and a few other tweaks which have not helped.
Have updated all drivers I could find updates for

Used laptop to watch HD film yesterday and happened once in 3 hours.
Today trying to do work with photoshop CS6 and happens nearly every 20/30mins.
PC will freeze and can be anywhere form 30 secs to 3/4 mins and then it just kicks back into life.
All suggestions appreciated

Eddie

For freezing issues, please provide this info:
Please do the following:
- open Event Viewer (run eventvwr.msc from the "Run" dialog))
- expand the Custom Views category (left click on the > next to the words "Custom Views")
- right click on Administrative Events
- select "Save all Events in Custom View as..."
- save the file as Admin.evtx
- zip up the file (right click on it, select "Send to", select "Compressed (zipped) folder")
- upload it with your next post (if it's too big, then upload it to a free file-hosting service and post a link here).

Most of the problems that I saw in the reports were video.

There is one memory dump in the uploaded reports from 30 Aug which blames "NotMyFault" - have you been playing with Mark Russinovich's "Not My Fault" program?

Normally we disregard these memory dumps - but in this case they appear to have interesting stuff in them.

AMD OverDrive (AODDriver2.sys) is either a stand-alone application, or a component of the AMD VISION Engine Control Center. This driver is known to cause BSOD's on some Windows systems.
Please un-install all AMD/ATI video stuff from Control Panel...Programs...Un-install a program
Then, download (but DO NOT install) a fresh copy of the ATI drivers from Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (in the upper right corner of the page)
Use this procedure to install the DRIVER ONLY: ATI video cards - DRIVER ONLY installation procedure - Sysnative Forums

If the device (AODDriver or AODDriver4.01) remains a problem, open Device Manager, select the "View" item.
Then select "Show hidden devices" and scroll down to the Non-Plug and Play Drivers section.
Locate the AODDriver entry, right click on it and select "Un-install". Reboot for changes to take affect.
Sometimes the driver remains and continues to cause BSOD's. If this is the case for you, post back and we'll give further instructions for safely removing it.

If overclocking, please stop. Remove the overclock and return the system to stock/standard values while we're troubleshooting. Once the system is stable again, feel free to resume the overclocking.

Please update these older drivers. Links are included to assist in looking up the source of the drivers. If unable to find an update, please remove (un-install) the program responsible for that driver. DO NOT manually delete/rename the driver as it may make the system unbootable! :

If this doesn't stop the freezing, please:
- update your video drivers
- try the video stress tests here: Hardware Diagnostics
- ensure that you're using the laptop on a hard surface (and using a laptop cooler if possible).
