Hello, I am having trouble with a Dell Inspiron 1520 with BSOD's almost once a week.
BSOD seem to be related to various drivers:
ntoskrnl.exe,nvlddmkm.sys,Ntfs.sys.
I updated the video driver to the latest NVidia driver but it still gives the BSOD.
I ran a memtest with no errors so i don't think is a memory issue.
