Studio XPS 16 BSOD
Hi,
Hoping someone might be able to help me out before I see if I can get the laptop replaced.
I am getting a BSOD generally once a day, everyday, it is always when the system is sitting idle and not when I am working on it. This started approximately 2-3 months ago
System Info:
Dell Studio XPS 16 - purchased 10/09
CPU: Intel Core2Duo P8600
RAM: 4GB - not sure of brand
HD: 500GB ST9500420ASG
VID : ATI Mobility Radeon HD4670
Vista Ultimate 64 (OEM)- original OS
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 (OEM)- upgraded several months later when Win7 was released via free Dell upgrade. System operated perfectly up until 2-3 months ago.
Things tried or had done with no positive results:
1. Updated all drivers
2. Ran chkdsk
3. Ran SFC /scannow
4. Formatted hd and did clean install of Win7 and updated all drivers (06/28).
5. Contacted Dell, who did went thru their A,B,C list.
6. Dell sent out tech (07/14) who replaced motherboard, wireless card and power brick.
System crashed last night and just moments ago after I rebooted it and left it alone for a couple of hours.
Thanks,
ian
