Hi vzfitch :)
For first step read this

Post back and tell us if that helps.
well i did what you had suggested, but when my computer crashes i could be in the middle of working on something and the screen goes black
A When you checked did you found anything enable?
B Did you set all the settings to never?
Crashes with bsod or just a black screen?
