    I got a BSOD with an hour of turning it on for the first time.. I think it was graphics driver related, as after my mods I've not had any problems.

    I got one during initial bootup setting up windows for first time use and another while installing SP1. Then 4 more after that. R3 returned.

    No Bsods for me when I first got my laptop about three weeks ago; (3d version)
    After I upgraded the SSD and reinstalled windows 7 I got loads of Bsods. Sometimes they appear quite random but one sure thing is whenever I restart/reboot the system it will Bsod if I just try log in normally. After a few days of troubleshooting I fixed the problem(s) - one with my realtek driver, the other was that my stock HDD have failed... After those were fixed I haven't had any issue at all in the past week or so.

    Ok, this seems to be happening randomly and multiple times a day. I have even reinstalled windows and have the latest Dell drivers. The last time it did it was overnight while I was rendering something in maya for school. What gives. o_O anyone else experiencing this random BlueScreens. This is a brand new system. :(
