Hey

I was playing Fallout 3, then I hit another bug and it crashed to desktop (as usual), but 90% of the time when a game crashes on me, I get the last sound of the game repeating in a loop constantly and the only way I have found to fix this is to Restart/Power off-on.

So I reset my Pc but when it got to the desktop, my wallpaper would come up and the task-bar, but nothing else would load, and the Busy mouse icon appeared and would not go away, I left it a little while but still nothing. So I hard reset (as I could not click on start menu) and it did the same again. This time, I turned it off completely (holding power button), waited a minute or so booted it up and all seems fine now.

Any ideas?

If anyone has a clue on my sound issue (the reason why I reset in the first place) that would be much appreciated.

Windows 7 x64
Asus Xonar DS

Thanks
