Just bought a brand new gateway nv52 with vista home premium x64 and it is constantly crashing like several times a day. I'll be running just a few programs like firefox and windows media player or word processor and the computer will freeze, the sound will take whatever the last little note that came out and stutter repeat it several times and then the entire screen will go completely blank to a dark blue screen.

Please help....I have to have this computer for school!

Give this a shot. It will help you figure out where the problem is. Assuming it's a driver (most probably), you can find new drivers here (I personally like installing drivers in safe mode, but either way). Let me know if that helped.

If it's a brand new computer, and you don't think you could have done something to make it angry, tell Gateway to get you a new one.
