    Hi guys!
    New user here :)
    My friend has a 5740 (about 2 months old) but having bsod a lot .
    I ran memtest for 8hours with no errors .
    I did a factory reset last night and everything works fine but there is a little problem :(
    If you restart from windows eg: just finished update or uninstalled a program the i get bsod again . Cant even do a startup repair so i have to restore to last working state so i can't check the minidump file .
    Any thoughts what could be causing this?
    If you turn the laptop off and start again is fine but restart gives bsod.

    Thanks in advance !

    Also after doing factory reset and installing all drivers it gets stuck on installing cleanup for ages.
    Cheers!
