I know it's probably good for the dump, but I'm just trying to understand the problem.
I can do anything on my computer except watching video. When I do, the hard drive makes a loud parking noise, everything freezes for like 30 seconds, then the drive restarts and I got barely enough time to close the video or web page before it craps-out again. Evidently, if I fail to take back control of things, it is windows that will eventually crap-out with a blue screen. It seems related to video size.
Never happens with a game, and the computer always starts fine. It's been doing that for something like a year, and I'm just trying to save it's life here.
