15-n222so
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My screen is freezing every 3 seconds for 0.5-1 seconds all the time. This happens when i watch videos, scroll and play games. This is happening after a driver update. I uninstalled driver and got Microsoft Basic Driver and all seemed fine, not menitoning opening fullscreen apps bad performance etc. I cant revert to the original state because HP has updated to a new standard driver in June 2016. Also i can see in driver manager that i got 2 drivers for no reason. I uninstall one of them then i get Microsoft Basic Driver. I uninstall the other one the same thing. It's like they are supposed to be together. 

 

What should i do?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello, the screen is still freezing and it's definetaly graphic driver related. I did system restore and everything seemed right afterwards. I checked what date the driver was released and it was smewhere in 2013 for specific graphics card. Unfortunately windows 8 started crashing and stuff so i just installed wiindows 10 again and the lockups began again. I see that driver is released in 2016 and is for two kinds of graphic cards. The 2013 driver was only for one graphic cards while 2016 update is for 2 graphic cards
