About 4 hours ago, prior to writing this, something very strange happened.
I just installed a gtx evga 1070 ftw card yesterday and I built this system this passed February, nothing I have is overclovked. System runs great and my only complaint is sometimes, at very, really random times, I will see an ever so slight stutter when moving my cursor and every time this happens my heart skips a beat thinking something is wrong, but of course, nothing is ever wrong.
Tonight I was on skype with a friend, playing a game of magic the gathering on magic the gathering online and listening to a stream in the background using livestreamer from GitHub to stream through Vic player.
All of the sudden, I could still talk on Skype and move my mouse, open task manager, but nothing I did would work, nothing I clicked would respond. The sound of the stream was looping and if I closed task manager, the words task manager got stuck on the screen. I tried opening Firefox but it would open, everything froze up, but skype still worked. I then used Ctrl alt delete, it successfully opened the manager to no avail. I tried to hit restart and the computer didn't care. I hit restart from the Ctrl alt del screen and the computer just hung and I was still able to talk to my friend on skype fine. I then forced it down.
After I booted back up, the OS was choppy for a few seconds and I started to panick, the task bar, Skype nor Firefox responded for a few seconds and then things went back to normal, but now mtgo was crashing upon startup. Luckily a clean uninstall and reinstall in safe mode of mtgo fixed it and ran fine the rest of the night along with skype and the stream I was watching.
I scanned thoroughly for malware, used the repair all in one tool from bleepingconputer and nothing wrong was detected. I checked the event viewer and it did show some things crashed but I did not recognize the names and just left it alone. Right now things are fine but every time that little cursor stutter happens my heart skips a beat and the stutter has happened since day one on Windows 7.
I am on the Anneversery edition and have heard of Windows 10 freezing stories, but man this one freaked me [strike]the hell[/strike] out.
Anyone have any ideas on what the heck happened? Thank you.
