It seems when the CPU is it put to work (playing videos, games, etc...) the page will minimize and I have to click on it to pull it back up again. Is this a hardwarwe issue?
 
I doubt it

Sounds more like an undocumented feature of Windows...

Try reinstalling (or upgrading) Media Player to see if that fixes the problem.

Click to expand...

Sounds like you have another piece of software in there which is taking the focus away from what you are doing.
Have you scanned for Adware and Virii?
 
If it crashed to desktop it could be bad memory.
But as it only minimizes the wimdow then it sounds like a driver conflict to me.

Luck........... :D
 
Missed the games part. That will teach me to hang out in the forums before my second cup of coffee...


Is this something that recently started happening? If so, do you remember what you were doing before it first occurred?

It does sound like another piece of software may be conflicting with everything you have by demanding your attention and minimizing the window to get it. You can try to isolate it by turning off everything you have running (anti-spyware, anti-virus, hardware monitoring tools, third party apps, etc) and see if the problem goes away.

I would also recommend a visit to Windows Update to patch your box if you haven't already done so.

Additionally, download the latest vid and mobo drivers for you box to see if that fixes the bug.

Do you have any unknowns in your device manager? Has Windows correctly identified all of your hardware?

Are you overclocking?
