It started occuring a day ago when I left my laptop on to restore/update itunes/ipod. I have restored my laptop ( Although it did crash during the last restore but seemed to have worked.) It had been occuring every 15 minutes but after this did not have trouble all day until now when playing a game. Anyhelp diagnosing the problem appreciated.
