Alright... getting the gradual freezes, BSOD's, and hard freezes almost every 10-20 minutes now, which renders my computer useless.

Computer: ASUS U36SD
Intel i5 Sandy Bridge
Intel HD3000/Nvidia 520M
8GB RAM
150GB SSD
Realtek HD Audio

All drivers should be installed properly... have the Intel Win8 graphics drivers and the Nvidia Win7 drivers installed as well.

If there are any other necessary details/tests/etc that y'all need just lemme know.

Thanks.
