"Right" I think to myself, I don't bother sending the error report.
I close Oblivion and open media player...No sound when I play music. I click on the little speaker on the bottom right hand corner of the screen:

(I cant remember the exact error message, but It says something about a mixer not being found and adding one to the printer section of control panel)

Okay...


My internet is also not working, the connection icon is still active, only when I double click it to check its status, it flashes then dissappears just as fast.

Reset my computer and everything is fine for a matter of minutes. (maybe 10-15)

It doesn't only happen when I'm playing oblivion, it has also happened during Warcraft III online (Caused me to hang ) and it happens if I boot up and leave the computer Idle.

I read something online about this problem being caused by old HP printer and scanner drivers...I don't have any printer or scanner installed to this computer at all. I'm really confused, I would GREATLY appreciate some help.

Thanks in Advance!

P.S.



Oh, in regards to the first error message, when I click "To see what this error report contains, CLICK HERE"
