Seen a couple threads with similar topics, but not quite exactly what I'm experiencing.
My computer will randomly lockup. Generally it's when I have some sort of program open. eg. Winamp with word, or win media player, or games. If my computer is just sitting idling it won't lock up unless I have a screensaver going. Only thing I can find in common between all of these is sound. Maybe video, but winamp doesn't use video and screensaver doesn't have sound! In any case It just freezes... Sometimes the sound is repeating as in most lockups, sometimes not. Sometimes the computer shows a bluescreen for a split second and then reboots automatically not giving me a chance to read it. Help someone? D=
