I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, and out of nowhere last night my computer blue screens while I'm shutting it down saying something about a "driver power failure state". I boot my computer up to make sure everything's fine, and it does. I wake up this morning and now about an hour after my computer's been running, it randomly stutters a few times a minute. My audio is just fine, though.

I haven't installed anything lately, so I'm a little at a loss with what to do.
 
Solution
Take a look in device manager. Expand all the subtrees and see if there are any items with exclamation marks. If there are, try 'uninstalling' them and allowing them to be re-detected.

There weren't any exclamation marks, but I checked them all anyway and I updated my video card, it seems to work now. Thanks!
