and I should of mentioned your Hard drive might be going out too :\

I can only think of 3 possibilities.

1: Laptop is overheating.

2: Windows 7 installation is messed up, or needs a reformat.

3: Ram issues.

Well Captain Picard says in Star Trek: TNG that religion has been abolished and mankind is more peaceful than ever on Earth.

Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark and Jet Force Gemini are the 3 main games I know of that have an 16:9 widescreen option.

Microsoft is getting rid of the glossy finish for the matte finish. This has been known for a while now.It's like microsoft is not selling the old fat 360 and only the slim now.

Yea servers are still up but it's slowly dieing. I would suggest getting Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy instead cause It's still real active and there is this mod called MB2 "Moviebattles 2" and is the best mod.

I'v seen every episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space 9 and Star Trek: Voyager :)

Yea there going to keep on updating it before december is out like the new music app that i can't mention atm.

The Xbox live preview program is going to continue to the end of the year says M$.

I'm thinking it's either your video card or monitor overheating, not sure.
