    First, i have gotten the blue screen of death about 2 or 3 times now, its giving me some kind of memory error. If it happens again ill get the actually error. This is seems to be happens at random times, once i was playing World of Warcraft, and i think another time i was just listening to music, talking on aim/xfire, and doing homework.

    Second, my computer randomly shuts off when im playing World of warcraft. Sometimes this is about 15-20 minutes into playing or 1-2 hours into playing. This has happened about 15 times now. It seems pretty random to me. I turned my video settings down and still get the same problem. My dorm room is usually freezing too lately. My laptop is about 2 months old. The crappy thing is that i had this exact same problem with my old desktop and it was the main reason i got my new comp.

    Third, i have had one or two times where my laptop has just completely froze, and i have to reset. This seems completely random too. It happened once when i was just on aim, and another when i was playing WoW.

    Anyone else getting any of these problems, and anyone have any solutions?

    I had that from the start. It's an issue with the sound driver. I don't know how I did it, it was a combination of fresh install of windows, service pack 2, teh multi-core windows patch, and the newest drivers. That was stable for a few months.
    Then I had to reinstall due to other windows problems, and I wasn't able to achieve stability.
    So I installed vista just for the hell of it. Stable for a weekend, and now my computer wont post.

    Point of story: Vista kills np2090's. Or maybe not, who knows.
    Try a bios update and newest drivers for windows.
    Also don't use the driver install program that comes with the sound driver, manually install the driver through device manager.
