PC froze especially when playing video

I updated my graphic card driver .. then it started to happen. randomly freezes but happen easier when i play video. rollback driver. still happens. uninstall driver, let window 7 find the WDM driver itself .. still happens. no BSOD, it just freezes and the only way to get it work again is to turn it off by holding the power button and turn it on again.

Checkdisc says both HDD has no bad sector. so is HD Tune.

Today, while i was doing some vector on Illustrator, suddenly it lags even my cursor stuck and moves slowly. was playing some music at the same time, it got stuck too. here's a screenshot of my task manager. It was listed as Svchost.exe*32 under the name Comodo Dragon and stays under Chrome. i used Kaspersky TDSSKiller, Microsoft Essential with no result.

Hi there. I making short videos interviewing people about their hobbies. my main problem is the audio. Video is great but using internal mic means picking up all sort of noise especially when the interview usually conducted at public places. Currently im using Nikon1 J1 with 10mm F/2.8 pancake. Personally i dont really want to have a separate audio recorder. I will continue study and part-time work soon.also noob at video editing . Most likely i wont hv time to edit.

My question is , what equipment do you guys recommend. DSLR D5100 with external microphone or camcorder. i think all those below 1k camcorder doesnt hv external mic input. Budget is 1.5k. cheaper and used is fine as long its working well.
