In Photoshop CC, when I attempt to use the Quick Mask (create a selection and press 'Q' key), part of the image turns the mask color and then the application freezes. This happens every time. I've attached a sample of a frozen screen. You can see the very top of my selection in upper-right of the unmasked portion of the image.

Thanks for the quick response, Chris. The picture is after it froze part way through. The selection was a rough circle on the cheek. The very top of the cirle is visible within the mask color.
I never thought about the GPU:
1. In 64-bit version, changing to "Normal" Drawing Mode allows the Quick Mask to work.
2. In 32-bit version, I can keep "Advanced" Drawing Mode and the Quick Mask works.
Thanks,
-Mark

OK, so it's hanging in the GPU code, probably related to the display shader.
We'll have to see if we can reproduce the behavior with the same card and driver versions.

Mark, are you still seeing this issue? There are new updates for Photoshop and the ATI driver. Can you update both and let me know if this issue persists?

This has been happening to me as well for the last month or so as well. And, it happens both when trying to pull up the Quick Mask (Q) and when using the Layer Mask Rubylith (\), which I do more often.
As it turns out, the issue is in fact the graphics processor. Changing the drawing mode to "Normal" did the trick.
But... I am confused as to why this would all of a sudden be a problem. I have been using OpenGL on my Window 7 64-bit PC for at least a couple years now and had no issue with I first upgraded to Photoshop CC 64-bit mid-year last year. My video drivers and Photoshop are up to date.
For Anthony and anyone else needing instructions on adjusting the graphics processor drawing mode, here they are:
1. Close all documents.
2. Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences (Mac OS).
3. In the Performance panel, click GPU Settings Advanced Settings.
4. Choose Drawing Mode > Normal (or Basic).
5. Restart Photoshop.

Photoshop CC tries to use Advanced by default. CS6 tended to use basic by default.
Matt, did you try to update your card by going directly to the manufacturers website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/201...

Easier:
Image > Mode > 16-bit/channel
The quick mask will crash PS when the image is 8-bit.

Determine what video card you have and go directly to the manufacturers website (nVidia or ATI/AMD) and download the latest driver: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/201...
After you have the latest driver, Try restoring your preferences: http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/201...
If doing both of those doesn't help, select Edit>Preferences>Performance... and click [Advanced Settings...]. Set the Drawing Mode to "Basic" and restart Photoshop.

I meant that converting the image to 16-bit "solves" the problem.
