    Okay, thought I'd cured the reboot issue and the blue screens of death, but it appears that my assumption of success was premature.

    So, I last night I pulled the RAM and reinstalled, and immediately had one blue screen immediately after getting into windows.

    Next step is that I ordered a new stick from newegg to see if the issue will resolve. Reboots don't occur all the time, but often enough to make it a real issue. This is unacceptable, especially on a supposed upper level notebook.

    Any ideas are welcome.

    Haven't had the time to test the memory.

    You should test both the ram and hdd. You should also use the restore cds and start from scratch. Once you did that load 3dmark or hot cpu and run one loop. May very well be a soft issue unless u got it like this out the box.,

    Try to test the memory one by one, don't put the both when testing. You can download the memory tester in http://www.memtest86.com/
    To the same brand and speed would be better when you upgrade another one stick.
    Cheers
