Are there any beeping sounds? Have you checked the Event Viewer to see if

- I have the latest graphics driver from nVidia

though. For one thing, I was getting tons of errors about "Volume
Shadow Copy" being turned off--and people say this isn't needed! From
what I can tell, it was keeping me from creating restore points. The
real meat of the problem must be caused by this though. I need some
help interpreting:
