    It'd seem as though everytime I try to open anything that requires Audio, it'll freeze up and give me the "This program is not responding" pop up. Youtube, Skype, Msn, Windows media player, everything. I disabled the sound notifications on Msn and it works fine now (just without the sounds)

    This has happened in the past before, but only temporarily, then I'd switch off my Laptop, restart, and it'd be fine, sometimes I'd have to switch it off 1/2 times before it was working again.

    Any help appreicated!

    Anything in backup? System restore? Sounds like a driver or software problem. Yeah do a system restore. Try remembering what has changed since the error

    Try doing a power drain, it does help.
