TL:DR
Uninstalling MS Office 365 helped with game freezing.

Some time ago I had random games freezes during a drop where the game would just get frozen for a few seconds. That was very annoying. Trying to do performance optimization through user.cfg did not solve the problem. Trying to change graphics driver as well.
The thing that helped is reinstalling Windows altogether and installing old Catalyst drivers 12.7.

The today the same issue has happened. Since I use Windows partition almost exclusively for MWO, I don't install a lot of things here. It struck me, that 2 days before I installed MS Office 365 ProPlus and Java. MS Office was there when I was having the problem few month ago. So I have uninstalled it, played a few matches and haven't experiences the issue so far.

Besides the freezes I had an uncommon FPS rate drop to about 12-15 - remember that clearly because I managed to win a dog fight in a locust against huntsman @15fps.

I'm running following setup: W7 64bit on Haswell Intel Pentium CPU, 8GB of RAM and ATI HD7790 1GB Graphics.

Can anyone confirm my experience?
I will correct if it proves to be wrong.
