    Is this a possible GPU issue?

    Well i was running windows, and restarted it after a anti-virus update. After i turned it back on baam freeze on windows bootup. Had to do a hard restart by pushing the power button. Then it turned on again and tried to fix windows. After that it did system restore to a few days ago. restarted and then the screen was at 800X600 and it detected grahics cards, and drivers but would not let me turn up resoulution. Restart now it semms to be working for now. Still have Shuttering in games, and Audio studdering again (Thought i fixed the damn thing) Guess not. Volume is also insanly low (Creative Xfi) though speakers (On laptop) so quiet can barly hear it. Any suggestions?

    I am thinking i am having another hardware issue. :(
