    Hmm. That's strange. What drivers are you using?

    I havent had a single crash of any kind since getting mine over a month ago.

    Already updated drivers to the latest.. Hmmm maybe had some corrupt drivers or something.. Will test again tomorrow morning.. And hopefully everything works fine.. Just not sure why MSI after burner and windows explorer and other things like Firefox would crash also :s

    Well you can't compare normal applications to full screen dedicated GPU utilising games. (As normal applications most likely use HD4000).

    As other people have said, it is most likely your Nvidia drivers. Some people have also resolved issues by first uninstalling everything, and then installing Intel drivers, followed by Nvidia drivers in that order.
