Another BSOD Mystery..
First off, this forum is amazing - I can't believe how much help is offered for those that scurry on in here. I just happened to stumble upon this site while trying to find a solution to these haphazard BSODs that have just started happening today. For the past 5 hours, I've created so many scenarios trying to figure out what the cause of the problem was - but the computer always eventually crashed. Even when I just booted up the computer and let it just sit there, it crashed after 15 minutes.
System Information
Gateway Laptop NV79C47u
Intel Core i5-450M Processor
4GB DDR3 Memory
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650, 1 GB VRAM
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
It's the original installed OS - OEM
The Computer's History
This laptop was purchased two weeks ago and has only been used to browse the internet, download security programs (AVG, Zone Alarm, Spybot, etc.), and media players (DivX, iTunes, VLC).
These BSODs have just started happening today for no apparent reason.. and the owner of the laptop leaves for college tomorrow! Horrible timing!
