1024 helps
I set the power to High Performance and reset the Plugged in to Never ever EVER!!!!
But it still snaps every10 seconds or so.

Expired plugin...hmmmmm I see a Coyote in the DXI...don't remember loading it. THought it was a limited that came w/ BIAB?

Here's another clue....the Windows Media Player is crackling too......very strange. I'm thinkin about reloading windows 7 in 32 bit mode. THis is a couple of year old lappy, I'm pushin it a bit I think.
You think a reload to 32 would stabilize? (I'm gettin REALLY tired of reloading...workin on my desktop too.... sigh ...)
