Dell M1530 - BSOD
Hi all
I have to admit defeat. Been having random BSOD for ages now since installing Windows 7 64Bit on laptop. Havent been that bothered but it is starting to get to me now so trying to do something about it.
Dell M1530 laptop is about 2-2.5 years old. Originally came with vista 32bit. Now has Windows 7 64bit - 4GB Crucial Ram. Done a memtest for about 4 hrs with no problems detetected.
No other problems apart from this random BSOD. Updated Intel Wifi Drivers to the latest version as thought it could be them as the BSOD seem to "possibly" occur when downloading at full speed however BSOD happens at other times too - so I guess not. Cant really see a pattern to the errors to be honest.
This is a new OS install - my only other inclination is towards a problem with Acronis Disk Cloning Utility - could those drivers be the issue as I ran the Driver Verification tool and on reboot got the blue screen (ticked a few Acronis drivers) and acronis is one of my lifesavers and is one of the first apps I tend to install - could be the common factor??
Any thoughts and thanks to anybody willing to have a look and take the time
Just tried the verifier for acronis drivers - they seem OK NO BSOD yet
