Okay let me begin with how the computer was left of and how i discovered the crash, so last night i left the computer to sleep with nothing new installed on it from weeks, this morning upon waking it up and logging into windows i got an Adobe Flash player update, at this point i'm not sure if the update downloaded and installed or because I opened chrome and I saw a tiny artifact around the cursor and then the screen just went grey, no blue screen of death or infact no error message the screen remained grey until i restarted and went into safe mode. In safe mode none of those problems occur i can open web browser etc.
Pc Specs:
i5-2310 2.9ghz
Gigabyte Z68AP-D3
8gb ram
GTX 680 (palit oem)
Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium
What I have done so far:
- Uninstalled drivers (in safe mode) and have removed any leftovers with Display Driver Uninstaller
- Installed older version of video drivers that i haven't seen this issue with.
After i did those i came back into normal boot, and opened the web browser again (Chrome) and i saw the artifact again around cursor and along the top of the screen, but this time ended with a plain blue screen no screen of death so far. I have googled this issue and nothing significant comes up.
My question is what is causing this and can it be the flash player update?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Quick followup, I just did a 3D Mark Fire Strike test with no crash or artifacts from GPU I haven't yet come across the error yet I have opened the browser just once, but I am still insecure of using the computer.
