Thank you for the explanation. (You know, if I can understand Magic: the Gathering rules for the stack, I should be able to understand computer processing at the machine level. But I have yet to encounter a handily downloadable document that explains the latter...)

Hmm. The only driver I was trying to update lately was the NVIDIA GeForce driver, which I really hope is not at fault, since apparently the most recent driver version doesn't support my chipset (even though it says it does, when I tried to install it it detected no compatible hardware...)

Oh well. If just playing music while writing is enough to crash the system, I know I'll encounter it again. Hopefully I can track down the responsible driver and repair it. I trust myself to do THAT much at least, if it's possible for me to do so. (Or I trust myself NOT to delete the motherboard drivers again at least.)

Incidentally, any chance this could also be the source of my previous kernal fault?
