Perhaps you could post in the forum from someone else computer while yours is down, like i'm doing. Don't force any hardware. What kind of BSOD's you're getting? Don't worry with the 3d sound, since it rarely causes bsod's. If you're getting something like "IRQ NOT LESS OR EQUAL", that means you got a memory conflict. Probably that's not what you're getting since you're using a notebook, but nevertheless, hope this helps.
