Hi.
A while back, Blockland started to crash my laptop. I reinstalled, and it was fixed. I'm not sure when they came back, if v14 was responsible or not, (although I doubt it, and I'm not trying to infer anything, but you never know...).
Left 4 Dead, and Left 4 Dead 2 (my only Steam games lol), run fine, and by fine I mean as fine as they're going to get with my video/sound. I've left them going for hours and yet my PC remained running.
Usually, I can play/leave it running for up to 10-15 minutes without experiencing a crash. (The crashing comes in the form of a frozen screen).
All of my settings in the first window of the options menu ingame are at default settings, however my advanced settings may not be, which I believe may be related, but am unsure.
For the record, due to my DirecWay sattelite internet connection, I am not online a lot, and play a decent amount of time offline.
I'm not sure if this is related, but what the hell, I'll post it anyway.
System information go!:

My console is attached to the post, and from what I see, there's nothing wrong with it.
I'm going to go and reinstall now, it worked before, but now the problems are back. Recently, Dell Dock began to malfunction, and now every damned time I log in to my laptop I get a pop-up leading to another that leads back to the first. I don't know anything about PCs, ftr.
In addition, I'd like to point out that I sorted out my add-ons to what actually seemed useful. However, there are three? that are crap-on'd, which I couldn't find at first glance in my console, and I just want to try and get this fixed fast...
Thanks in advance for any help.
