BSOD on Dell Studio 15 1558

One thing i dont seem to be getting any software update message from Dell, i assume i should be.

Its just adding Dells bloatware back on your system.... If you can live without it, you're better off...

Just in case it helps anyone else.
Since deleting free mcafee 14month licence that came with my Dell 1558, and installing Microsoft Essential security, ive not had a single freeze or BSOD.

Thanks mreco99, and welcome to SF!

Mreco99, thank you for letting us know. I am glad you solved your problem.

Sorry i was a bit premature, still freezes.
was ok for a few days, but now it can freeze every 10 mins for 30 seconds, then nothing for a couple of hours.

When it freezes nothing works, i get the circle cursor timer, firefox greys out, i have tried just using IE, same.

i keep updating drivers from Dell website, Bios is now on A11.
This has happened since day 1 of the laptop

were not alone

Wow, that article is not good news at all. It looks like this is a Dell problem.
