hmmm..well i uninstalled the omega drivers i was using..i never even had updated them when this problem started...

alienware dosnt support this model laptop anymore and so i cant download the correct official drivers so i always depended on omega

anyways i found different tweaked drivers, NGO, and the problem seems to be gone for now..i hope.. ::goes to restart computer once more::

A Myth update doesn't change anything on your system outside of its own folder.

My guess is a faulty LCD or a loose plug somewhere. Shaking the comp while it's running can damage the hard drive by slamming the needle against the heads.
