I've had my fair share of problems after receiving and reformating this new laptop with my own copy of win7 x64 ultimate. Everything is up and working except the touch sensitive eject button.
Now the fun part, I've gotten 2 BSODs and from looking at the reports from WinDBG, both BSODs seem to target a different problem but other than that I cannot figure out exactly what the problem is. Problem with RAM? Drivers? hardware?
I would appreciate any help or opinions anyone can provide. Using:
1) Formatted OEM (Home Premium) and installed Win7 x64 (latest updates)
2) Installed all necessary drivers from hp support site except I did not use hp's nvidia drivers, downloaded nvidia drivers directly from nvidia.com
HP dv8t-1200
Intel i5 450M
6GB (3GBx2) 1066MHz
nVidia GT 230M
HDD 640GB (320GBx2)
The 1st BSOD happened when I was viewing a 1hr 30min 1080p video on youtube.
The 2nd BSOD happened when I launched a second WinDBG window to load the 2nd crash dump.
