BSOD and computer freeze ups.
Hi! I have an Alienware M11x R3, it ran fine and never had any problems except for one BSOD a long time ago which was diagnosed and was just a freak thing. However I moved, I'm now in a old run down home that was built in the 1940's, old electric wiring and no ground. I know that's a bad combination with a computer so I've not been using my PC's (have a $5,000 gaming desktop I can't use...), though I have school that's on my PC and come on who can get by without a PC at all? So I've been using my M11x to get by, was told laptops were fine without a ground... well I've had two laptops die already (other family members PC's) and they all went the same way. WiFi would act weird (would stop working and require a restart, wired wouldn't work either), the hard drives would start going really slow and get nosier, lot's of freeze ups and BSODS, along with several other weird little problems. My guess is that it's the build up static electricity that can't be disposed of by the ground accompanied by power fluctuations and brown outs that killed them. The hard drive in one is now 100% dead, tried every method that I know and it seems I'll have to send it in to a HDD recovery company, the other had a LOT of it's data totally scrambled (corrupted). Now these symptoms have started on my M11x, exact same stuff as the other PC's, I'd also like to note I've gone through 3 power supplies in 8 months. So my cousin who is renting the house agreed to pay for the damage if I can prove it (apparently two dead within a week of the same symptoms wasn't enough) so I'm posting my BSOD files and if you guys can check them out and help me prove the problem then I'll be rocking a new Alienware 13. If I've left anything out or if you need more details please just let me know and I'll gladly provide all I can.
Just a note, I've been working on computers since I was 12 and have done just about everything imaginable with them and also have a very extensive knowledge of various OS's. Just wanted to say that so that it's known I'm very far from clueless about PC's.
