I cannot remember the last time XP BSOD on me. And that would be probably 3 years, although I am getting old...
Likewise, and that was when I was experimenting with various RAM modules to establish which one the laptop didn't like...
I now have a brand new (well over a month, actually) machine with Win 7 on an SSD drive and the BSOD count is now 5. On top of that it has failed to fully load the desktop on start up twice, necessitating a reinstall from backup image. Oh, then there's the "hanging" when shutting down, or putting it to sleep, and the "well known" (since Vista days) problem of files not showing in Explorer until pressing F5 to refresh.
And I am supposed to be glad I've "Upgraded" from XP??? Granted, this machine was poorly configured by a national supplier, and didn't have the correct drivers installed when supplied - since corrected by myself. But despite this, it threw another wobbly today.
Even if I DO manage to convince them to take it back and refund my money, I will be left with a tricky decision on how to proceed. The 8 year old doorstop isn't being retired to the loft just yet...
