    I was playing cs yesterday, fired an awp shot, could have kill that guy if it wasnt for a stutter and the guy looked at me and i crashed, saw a brief BSOD before i was taken back to the boot screen. No idea what happened, after i booted up, my AVG was off, windows had an alert warning or something. After that i tried booting bf2, it ran better than cs? Is it because of the new crappy steam update? I crashed the second time, also a BSOD, dammit. Is it because of driver issues? Bf2 ran fine, NFSmw ran fine, hmm or could it be i have too many processes in the background? But this is a medium to a high end notebook right?

    Anyone help? Here is a screenie of my background processes.

    What did the BSOD say? I could very well be driver issues, yes, try updating your video and sound drivers.

    Yes.

    Also, all those processes are unnecessary. But that's something for another day.

    open run::dxdiag and turn sound acceleration down to "basic" , see if you still have the problem, that was my problem

    It all has something to do with the sound, whenever i play a song when its really loud, my hdd light just lights up and hangs whatever i am doing and then it will start flashing only if i pause my song or the part is gone. Same goes for games, whats wrong? HDD?
