temporary fix

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...
