WindowBlinds 5 seems to be the culprit in causing random freezing within applications and turning off my LCD,then i can't do anything but reboot manually.
Even running a clean or bare install of windows xp prop exhibits the same behaviour.

If your LCD turns off then the problem is somewhere in the drivers.

Does every app freeze at once or ?

Try dropping hardware acceleration one notch.

It sounds like either a driver bug (which given how common the 9600 cards are & the lack of other reports is less likely), or a case of the hardware glitching. This may be due to increased power usage caused by WB making the card do more work than is usual in 2D mode.
