    Hi everybody,

    I have just had my first BSOD on a brand-new W520. It happened at the end of a large single file transfer (2GB) via wireless network - from another laptop.

    Did someone experience similar issues? Should it be related to SSD (Intel 160GB)?

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    That's rare. I've transferred large video files between W520, T410, desktop and NAS all over the Lenovo wireless with no problems. I did have BSOD before due to bad RAM though. You might want to try your copy again and see if it repeats. If you're feeling paranoid run a MEMTEST86.
