The same link also explains how to open and use the core dump.
That would be my suggestion, to have a crack at the core dump ( which, I am not to sure of the format for windows ) but it should give some insight that may be useful. Usually the exact state it was in prior to BSOD.
I'm guessing then its a BIOS or Motherboard related thing....
To see what sleep modes are available, type powercfg -a in the cmd prompt.
It will diagnose the available sleep modes for you.
You may have to enable some ACPI Power modes in the bios. Make sure the S4 (or S3) System state is...
I was never expecting much better then Vista (game wise) tbh.....
but I imagine its to early to tell..after all, certain development factors like the cross compatibility of drivers, and current development habits for games could have a roll in determining how well games perform.
Ahh yes... I think they wanted to glorify manipulating your environment to kill your enemies rather then the pure joy of rail-gunning them....
Problem was, nothing was really over-the-top enough to make that as fun as killing them with bad ass guns.

I replayed it recently and to some extent I agree. I preferred the first hl. A lot of the levels were driven on showing off the physics engine, like you said, and although that is really neat, it gets old...and boring....especially the driving levels...god.

Correct me If I am wrong but that particular mobo requires 2 PCI slots to be empty in order to use Tri-Sli....In which case, my only suggestion would be to use an external sound interface...Sound Blaster offers external USB sound cards...
Even with 2gb photoshop should be running faster....and I don't think the software can bypass the OS restrictions of having more then 3.5gigs on a 32bit system.. If anything, it sounds like an optimization problem...photo shop may be dipping into your page file because it wants to use to much...
