GfxUI crash

Hello,

I just built my first HTPC and for the life of me I cannot figure out why this is happening. Windows works just fine, I can do anything, I can hook up my TV/Monitor via onboard DVI, VGA, or HDMI running in 1080p and everything appears to be fine. When I right click and view graphics properties the screen flashes black and tells me GfxUI has stopped working. Also I can watch video online from some sources (MegaVideo) but others it just brings my system to a halt and tells me GfxUI stopped working. I have the latest Intel drivers (8.15.10.2509), Intel Management Engine Interface (6.0.0.1179), and ING interface (9.2.0.1030). In addition, I've also tried numerous past drivers as well. I've also gone through and disabled/enabled .NET 3.5.1, updated .NET 4, got the Visual C++ Runtime, etc. I've done everything the other forums suggest to no avail. Any help would be appreciated!

Here is my setup:

Gigabyte H55M-UD2H Rev. 1.3
Intel Core i3 540 Clarkdale
Patriot Gamer 2 Series 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Crucial 60 GB SSD
Win7 Professional SP1 x64

Thank you for any suggestions.

this is gonna sound stupid but i found others that it fixes the problem.
run windows update. make sure you get .NET 3.0

Thanks. Windows 7 has .NET 3.5 loaded with the OS, but I've also run windows update and gotten all the updates possible, as well as reinstalled windows. I also went back and installed every .NET framework I could (1.1, the rest it wouldn't let me do because it's integrated).
