    It could be a number of things: temps, driver issue, or ssd. Post some more info in regards to it (temps [idle/load], what driver, etc.)

    Did you have any problems with the previous gpu drivers or did it start after going to 11.10?

    I don't think it's driver related as I reverted it to the previous driver and the problem still persists. I ve been reading the ssd section, it seems that the crucial m4 is known for micro stutters....... Any other suggestions?

    @ trinox

    If you have old firmware on your M4, it can cause the entire Operating System to freeze every now and then. Make sure you have the latest firmware or anything beyond the default one.

    I don't think that is necessarily related to what you describe because those freezes would have happened everywhere, not just in gaming.
