    Hey all, when I'm playing warcraft3, randomly my sound will glitch, and I'll get a blue screen of death, then my computer will hard-reboot.
    I'm using WinXP home SP2, only patch is the multi-core patch.
    Audio driver is: 6.0.1.5436
    Video driver is: 156.10
    I would tell you what the blue screen says, but it flashes too fast to read it.
    I'm sure it has something to do with sound or video.

    My lappy is:
    NP2090
    T7100
    2gigs (one that came with it, one that I install, about to run mem-test)
    stock otherwise.

    Ideas?

    you try the drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/ High Definition Audio Codecs (Software)?
    and how about different video drivers

    I ran the mem test and my ram is fine.
    For sound I first used the stock 5391 driver, but that wouldn't even install properly, gave me some strange install error
    Now I'm using 5436 for sound, which installed fine but the realtek sys tray program doesn't load. I can load it from the control panel though.

    The first video driver I used was 101.08, but the problem first appeared on that, so I upgraded to my current 156.10 and it persists.

    Upon rebooting windows after this crash, it gives me an error reporting service request, I copied the information that is sent, and have the files. But I don't know how to read them. If anyone would like to take a look at them, I can e-mail it to you.

    Right click MY COMPUTER, choose PROPERTIES, choose ADVANCED, choose the SETTINGS button in the Startup And RECOVERY section, and uncheck AUTOMATICALLY RESTART

    Now reboot. This will result in the BSOD error and windows will not restart untill you tell it to...report the STOP ERROR and any parameters.
