My firewall is fairly open

I use norton, its pretty common so Id be surprised if it was at fault, as noone seems to be getting this problem

also it has been through a fair few updates when the system was tweaked and reworked so it would surprise me, I could be wrong though I guess

Yep, I am

no worries, thanks for trying :P

And I'm assuming that your administrator on your computer. If you are, I'm out of ideas :/

What about your memory? Try running task manager in the background to check your resources(I usually do this when I go unresponsive)

I always have it open anyway, and although TB is a memory hogger, my physical memory usage is pretty consistant at around 30% which shouldnt be a problem

Have you downloaded anything new near the time when the crashes started?

Nope, and ive tried windows restores :<

Turning up the graphics appears to have made the problem less common kek

Anyone have any ideas on this still?

Ok just download 4.95 I had that problem and it fixed.
