Computer keeps on Freezing up FFS

Ok I don't get this my Dell Lappie now has 2 gigs of ram, and a 7950 and well you get the point.. But when I play Company of Heros Opposing Fronts, I'm fine in game. But once I leave game I notice my computer Freeze up and sometimes the windows work but the taskbar doesn't work. It's like parts of the computer freezes up. I try Task Manager to see whats going on, and I can't find anything. in fact sometimes the freeze is so bad I can't get into task manager. It's like one window works at a time.

I'm thinking of reformatting, but I don't know what the deal is. I feel as if one of my Cores broke or something, lol.

are you playing with sound or not? I know COH has some sound loop issues that can cause errors & issues with freezing.

I need a sound card fast. Do you remember Battlefield 2? When you exited and it would still freeze up a bit right when you got back on to the main desktop? That was all sound acceleration.

We'll see I ordered an Express Card I hope it helps it out a bit, either that or maybe I should lower all of my Sound Settings. Currently I have (No Acceleration) on sound through dxdiag.

*sigh it has nothing to do with COH, it's happening right now even without COH starting
