Screen keeps freezing after logging on to my pc, it will freeze after like 2 to 3 minutes then it fulley freezes for several minutes and then unfreezes for a few seconds not long then it freezes again and it just repeats this after i updated my gpu drivers. Cpu: amd 8370 ram: 32 gbs ddr3 gpu: 2 470’s and 1 TB hardrive and a ddr3 gigabyte motherbord.
 
Solution
All i can really recommend is to that you roll back the display driver via the Device Manager or use System Restore in Safe Mode to go back to when you had the working driver.

Or uses Guru3D's Display Driver uninstaller/Driver Sweeper to wipe your drivers then install the Driver version you had before you installed the new one.

As above - - generally you shouldn't update a driver unless there's a compelling reason to do so (eg existing driver has issues) - - the mere fact that there's a newer version does not constitute a compelling reason in my book.

Don't get obsessed with updating drivers just because a newer version has been released - - it's bad practice.
