I think I've found one reason for some of my crashes. I've noticed if I play wc3, and alt tab during gameplay, then go back and play, upon exiting the program my system will crash.

If I don't alt tab any, I don't crash upon exiting the program. This appears to be the trend at least.

I've had a few sporatic crashes just while browsing the internet, and once when I was opening a folder. I get a quick bluescreen I can't read then a system reboot.

Any ideas though what could be going on, regarding the alt tab and crashing ? Something with the hardware itself perhaps ? I know the obvious answer may be to see if never alt tabbing fixes everything, but I still have to see if I"ll get sporatic crashes.

If this all keeps up I may just sell this sapphire 9800 pro or trade it for a 9600 xt or somethin and see if that pleases my system more. I"ll take lesser quality for higher stability.

most games arent made to be alt tabbed out of. i always have problems in games i try that on. but my system usually doesnt crash because of it.
