I have a Lenovo Y40-80 laptop running Windows 7 x64 (downgraded).
Around a few months ago, it started randomly crashing when I pressed Print Screen. Sometimes, Firefox would crash and moments afterward the computer would hang.
EDIT: Whenever it freezes, the audio repeats the previous fraction-second forever, and the CPU heats up. I don't get any BSOD crash dumps accessible from BlueScreenView.
I can reproduce this problem by either pressing Print Screen, or running Firefox Profiler for a few minutes before pressing stop. It doesn't always crash, though (somewhat random).
Oddly enough, this problem even shows up in Safe Mode!
This issue emerged around the time I installed the Lenovo BIOS rootkit fix. I tried uninstalling Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit, which didn't help.
