Pc Freezing

[LARUTO]

when i boot my pc it freezes up as soon as i touch a key on the keyboard, i can use the mouse just fine, but that's about it, one touch of the keyboard and it stops recognizing motions of the mouse etc afterwards.

any ideas?

PC freezing supposed to be better than PC overheating!

the last software i had added to that pc b4 the problem was ... Winamp 5.0, since then i have removed this and now use the core mediap layer instead, and it seems the problem has ended.

AIDS!!!
try a prev ver of winamp and see

[mojo]

ahhh yes!!!

the problem is not winamp! it's your sound driver. I know u said that u tried updateing drivers ad such, but winap also does have the option to disable hardware acceleration.(There is also a warning that broken drivers causes the PC to freeze when u use this option)

Chances are u will keep getting the problem with other apps until u fix the driver.
