And what's up with the random lockups!? They just happen out of the blue for no reason I can think of or debug. The mouse just turns into a "busy" icon, I can't click a single thing and the music just keeps on playing for quite a while (like it doesn't affect the stuff in buffers or something) until it just starts looping and then I have to hard reset. I've had this crap happening with Win10 on my old X58 platform and now on brand new X99 as well. It never happens in a game, just on desktop.
And I remember this happening on ALL Windows since WinXP. Vista, Win7, Win8, Win8.1 and now WIn10. But on all systems it fixed itself over time so I have zero clue what's causing it. Question is, why the hell is it happening in every single Windows release and I can't see to figure out why.
