    I seems to have this problem since updating the graphic driver to amd 8.862.4.4000. The laptop did not go 100% not responding, some of the programs for e.g. firefox and buttons for e.g. start button still works but it do not do what's suppose to. For e.g. I was editing photos in Photoshop halfway and all of the sudden the program stopped responding. I went to the desktop and click restart, all programs are closed like its ready to shut down but it doesn't. A window than popup and say windows explorer and taskeng.exe are not responding than it just freeze there only with the wallpaper left on the screen. ctrl+alt+del doesn't work either I had to force shut down the machine.

    This has happened to me every single time I turned on the laptop until I downgrapded the graphic driver back to 8.862.4. Are there anyone else experiencing the same thing?
