New computer, AFK BSOD, help me find my bad driver
I have a brand new Dell Precision 7710 that is to be my CAD machine. I have not used it much yet, but I am plagued by BSOD when I am not anywhere near the computer.
I just did the Dell Factory Reset which sets it back to the factory install image, and ran the recommended updates from Dell Support. The computer also ran Windows Update on its own a few times. I have installed Chrome and Solidworks 2014, AVG Free, and SugarSync so far. No hardware other than a mouse.
During the driver updates, I did get some crashes, notably from AMD driver updates. The one from their website worked the best. Solidworks has a recommended driver that is older.
I also disabled Sleep and Hibernate, because I was having issues where the computer would not wake up from sleep. I do not know if this is related.
