My computer has been hanging up a lot on me recently, and I am trying to figure out wha the hell is wrong with it. A couple of days ago, Windows seems to have answered my prayers and returned one of its "solutions." It pretty much told me that something in my PC has gone south- and tells me to...

SOLVED: Can't sleep, restart, shutdown; Explorer won't refresh (Solution on last post, but the short version is that I had to use the Device Manager to "Uninstall the hardware" for my built-in SD card reader, so that Windows just forgets that the hardware exists. I can't use it anymore, but...

Hi, I installed Windows 7 the other day, and it's been running smoothly and I haven't had any problems with it thus far, except for one. It seems to happen only when I'm downloading things, be it direct downloads or torrents. I've also linked it to Firefox, as for some reason it seems to crash...
