    Hey guys. Finally came across some money and bought myself a Tohiba Satellite A505-6999. I have been using it for about 4 days and have already had three or so BSOD's. I have the memory dumps but no idea how to view them. I haven't been doing anything crazy during the crashes and this laptop is a beast so it should be able to handle most stuff i throw at it.

    Anyone else have or heard of this problem? If not, do you recommend sending it back for a replacement

    Thank you,
    Wizzel

    Did you install any programs on it or hook up any hardware to it? It could be incompatible software or buggy drivers.

    Return it and exchange it for one that works. You shouldn't have to deal with a defective laptop right out of the gate.

    Try Blue Screen View to see if it can tell you anything useful about the BSOD's.
