Random BSOD when not even using laptop.
Hi there!
I bought this laptop (ASUS 1215b) in August. After about a week or two, I started getting what appeared to be completely random BSODs.
Sometimes it would happen while I was reading a PDF document, other times it would happen if I was watching videos on Youtube; but what really puzzled me was that it also happened when I left the laptop unattended, and even then, I couldn't really see a pattern to nail down the cause (it could happen anywhere from seconds to hours after me going AFK, and sometimes when I brought it out of Sleep).
I went back to the store with it to have it repaired. About two weeks later, I got the laptop back.
Now, I'm pretty interested in computers and often want to try to solve things myself before asking for help, but I didn't want to go too far with this laptop because I didn't want to make my warrant obsolete from having messed up something.
Having said that, I was pretty disappointed when the papers I got from the folks who "repaired" my laptop only said that they had "modified the touchpad and ordered parts". I really would like specifics, but oh well!
So when I got home, I started up my laptop and just left it alone, to make sure that I wouldn't get anymore random BSODs.
Sure enough, after only about an hour, I'm back at square one.
I've been trying to find things out by googling stuff that I have found out through Nirnsoft's BlueScreenView, but I'm pretty stuck right now, which is why I am here.
The OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM.
If it's any helpful information, I'm on wireless network with the laptop.
Thanks a bunch in advance for any assistance with this, it's driving me nuts, but at the same time I really want to find out what's going on. :)
