    So I have a bit of a strange issue here,
    I have a DV6-6c39TX with the 7690m XT GPU and its great in games, not even once has it crashed while im in a game.
    However if I try to just browse the web, listen to music or anything that doesn't really use the GPU the screen will freeze, occasionally when this happens the drivers recover, but most of the time I just have to reboot.
    I have drivers as fixed in the bios and I am running latest intel and amd beta 13.11 drivers, how ever this also happened with leashcat 13.4 and the drivers supplied by hp.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Blair
