    A205-S4587 BSOD and explorer.exe problems :(

    2 things:

    1) Sometimes I run a dual monitor set up. All of the sudden when ever a BSOD comes up, the screen is split in 2 (it only shows up on my notebook display) and every line of text is cut in half and split between the two "virtual" screens (making it unreadable). Is this a video driver problem? How can I fix this?

    1.a) When running my audio processors (through the 4pin firewire port), I get a "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". This only occurs when using the processor as the audio input into adobe flash content. Is this an adobe flash problem or something of a much bigger scale?

    2. All the sudden my explorer.exe started freezing up. Some days it won't happen at all, other days it happens every 5 min. It only freezes up my task bar, and I am still able to open programs from the desktop and such. When I restart it, my network status and audio icons are gone from my system tray. I have tried uninstalling the most recent software and it didn't help. I have done a full virus scan, check the HDD for errors, and spyware scan with no luck.


    Thanks for any help.
