ASUS 7790 causing freezes (too)

As I said I am currently without AMD drivers and hence without problems.

All that means is that the graphics card is not working to its potential and perhaps pointing out other system problems. It doesn't mean anything about the card or driver itself. Basically, other system problems are not evidenced like that.

Never claimed anything of this sort. But the converse is not true either.
Here is the new zip. Still without AMD drivers.

Akamai is still installed.

This is a well-known problem causer, even under Window 7:

I would even uninstall Samsung software while testing.

This is very strange to see, especially with this date, on Win 8 machine:

etdrv etdrv Kernel 2009-03-19 10:59:06 PM

These are good, but still should install latest from AMD:

I already uninstalled akamai and Samsung software. The folder you mention doesnt exist
All gigabyte software was only installed last week. (Installed to update BIOS, and already uninstalled)
And AMD were also uninstalled:

Are you even looking at the new zip? It says 0 views.

Of course, yes.

Then you should delete the startup entry for Akamai.

Doesn't matter when you installed this, that or the other thing. You're soliciting my help and if you don't want to follow, please don't bother me then.

I am following exactly what your are saying.
I said that I uninstalled Akamai and everything else you said. Ran CCleaner to clean any registry values. There is no Akamai in start up.
Please excuse me for not understanding how something that I installed yesterday was causing me problems a month ago. I still did everything you said.

It's not about what happened a month ago, or today or any time. You are complaining about a card that you think is not working well and we are making the system work well.

GDRV.sys is still showing in driver list.

Intel persistence module should be disabled too, as well as hkcmd. Same for Delayed Launcher. Those are for onboard video. Better even to completely uninstall Intel Graphics software.

See, we're making progress. :)

How do you want me to uninstall those things then?
I already uninstalled all Gigabyte apps and the intel graphics(and its disabled in bios).
Deleted GDRV.sys manually from \windows and disabled the rest you said.

Best way is to uninstall Intel Graphics from the programs list.

Second best way is to delete the items in Regedit.

Third best way is to disable in Task Manager.

Reboot after any of those. I'd really go with the first option for sure though.

Watch about gdrv.sys - it usually returns if you don't uninstall the owner software.

I have already uninstalled all these software through program list as I said before. However, you are saying that its still there.

They're showing right in the latest screenshot you posted. It's not rocket science. If you uninstalled the Intel Graphics, those will be gone. It shouldn't have to take 42 posts to figure it all out.

Nice to found this topic. I have EXACTLY the same problem, with the same AMD 7790! System freezes, music stops, and mouse and keyboard are stuck. I have to hard reset the PC. Do you still have this problem? I tried the newest AMD driver and an older driver. With Prime95, the system crashes exactly after 1 hour. Can't find anything in the logs. Should I RMA the card?

No, but I had to use something to find out which hardware is failing. :) Hmm.. The problem is, when it freezes, it doesn't produce a BSOD. I run the Diagnostics Tool. Please download the ZIP file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4hw8h8fyo70v5f3/SF_26-02-2014.zip I changed some personal settings to ***. Not because of you, but because of the internet. :) Thanks!
