Look, the guy was just trying to make sure it was not a driver or software problem, maybe he has money concerns To automatically jump to Hardware problem first is premature to me.
This is hard for me to believe, you got splinter in your toe, the Doctor's here at MDL think you need foot cut off, hehe
i would never go back to core2duo.. had one till may i can fix my splintered toe.. she needs foot replacement.
Haha, well I have a core2duo laptop, just gave it a ssd upgrade, $50 and it starts faster than a $600 laptop in a store that has a mechanical hard drive. Why take a car to the auto wreckers because it gets a flat tire?
Exactly. I'm still relying on a dell e4300 and a dell e6400 because they are blazing fast on SSD while they have a 16/10 display instead of the idiotic 16/9 used on notebooks today.
haha well i encoded a dvd in 15 minutes.. not 45 minutes with my old core2 duo with ssd also im so glad i got i7!! i got my grandma Dell E6410 i5 and shes happy.
i do think its video card or bad ram. possibly old hdd. easy test.. boot up hirens or linux on usb and see if it crashes after a while.
I'm sorry to tell you but it's not hdd problem. I change the video card to new (It compatible with Windows 8) and I didn't get one BSOD. Only one windows freeze. Windows 10 try to install the old and the new video cards drivers on the same time.
I prefer to wait 1 month for Windows 10 RS1. In gpedit.msc there is option to hide update drivers. Why to run (or install) external program when you have built-in option.
It just give you lots of different choices, see she wolfs OP in sig, does more that just hide updates/drivers
