Recently my computer has been freezing for no apparent reason until I have to force shut it down.
Normally a few seconds before it freezes it makes a little noise.
Heres my most recent crash recorded by Who crashed

This was probably caused by the following module: storport.sys (0xFFFFF88001012FA5)
Bugcheck code: 0xD1 (0xA, 0x2, 0x0, 0xFFFFF88001012FA5)
Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
file path: C:\Windows\system32\drivers\storport.sys
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: Microsoft Storage Port Driver
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Your system configuration may be incorrect. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver on your system that cannot be identified at this time.
Thanks in advance,
