 Cool, I wasn't even really worried about the crash, figured I overclocked
 something... I am using PC Tools Firewall Plus, I just set the settings to
 maximum permissions. My anti-virus is Avira, the free version, so it does
 not have a firewall. There is the possibility that my college network is
 screwing things up, some of these yahoos couldn't figure a Ping from a
 hole in the wall.
