Yeah yet again, it's a "random" device driver error.  I still have had not 
any more crashes since my last tweak, but since my sound card is the only 
thing I've been messing with, I think that's where the problem may lay.  If 
I get another crash, I may just disable onboard sound and grab an actual 
sound card.
