    I get a lot of BSOD (about 1 every other day) with my new Alienware M17x.

    It seems to happen more when I'm viewing things with Windows Media Player and have my old school textbook size external WD HD plugged. But it also happens when that's not on.

    Is there some driver or update I'm missing? What's going on?

    Thanks!
