they told me that i inherited this problem

right as i saw your new reply it shut down on me
when i logged back on it said:

nvsvc32.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.

I went to my comp/manage/event log and this came up:

there was a winmgmt warning that said wmi adap was unable to process the remoteaccess performance library

there were some apache service errors but they are unrelated.
it says c: is near capacity. and nvidia display driver terminates unexpectedly.

the nvidia error appears most frequently so i think that this is the problem, but i dont have any audio devices on my system and the graphics are standard.
