Freeze when idle/BSOD while gaming (storport.sys)
My computer is about a year old, and I've had the freeze problem from the very beginning. If I leave it idle for about 20 minutes, it'll freeze absolutely solid, with no remedy other than to hold down the power button. Even more strange, this freeze doesn't happen if I'm playing audio in windows media player (which I tested in an attempt to see exactly how long the freeze took to happen -- and it didn't.) Sometimes, I can move the mouse, but clicking does nothing, and that eventually locks up, too.
I don't know whether this is related, but it freezes frequently when I'm playing Minecraft or Torchlight 2, even with windows media player in the background. The freeze happens in a very similar way (mouse movement with no response, then losing that). Unlike the idle freeze, this actually makes it to a BSOD.
