PC freezes

When I try to install the software for the k95 keyboard my PC freezes. I've tried the install multiple times, but the PC freezes every time so I have to restart the PC (nothing responds, not even ctrl+alt-del). I have already tried to reinstall windows, but the problem remains. Due note that I've had a similar problem before when trying to install another software. I know it's not a hardware related problem because I've got it up and running with my laptop. It might be a driver problem of some sort but i don't know what type of driver i'll have to install. Drivers are probably out of date as well :/

I'll try it. But what do my GPU drivers have to do with keyboard software???

It shouldn't have anything to do with it, but you said your screen is freezing and you have to restart your computer to fix it, so it may be your GPU drivers.
