Thanks for the reply. I ended up solving the problem by using windows
default drivers for my on-board sound and flashing the motherboard to
the latest BIOS revision released from ASUS. It hasn't showed up in a
day, so it's not 'officially' fixed since I've seen it go nearly 2
days without incident.

I understand completely how you feel about the mainstream gaming. I
myself started with a C64. I remember hiding game manuals in school
because it just wasn't 'cool' to game even though the games were
awesome. What REALLY solidified me as a gamer for life was how my
father, my brother and I bonded growing up: DOOM, Duke Nukem and Blood
cooperatively on hard settings. We even played the expansion packs.
For me, that was the pinnacle of cooperative play (That and Halo 1 on
legendary, but it's XBox, so meh). I haven't played L4D but I've heard
it's good. When the price drops again I'll be looking into it.

Had few friends growing up into gaming, it wasn't until after college
that games like doom came into existence, and back then there wasn't a
good lan system in the dorms. Didn't really get into social gaming until
my first job at Electronic Arts (dream job). Had a SNES which killed a
lot of time back then, first system was a refurbished 2600, was a huge
Atari user til my first 386.

L4D, worth every penny, I can't get into the Verses mode, just too many
kids there, but co-op is a lot of fun. can scare the crud outta you when
you open a door and a flood of zombies comes pooring out. Valve really
knows how to take something and polish it to perfection. Not since Day of
Defeat have I been so into a valve game.
