[QUOTE="zzz00m, post: 684109, member: 63158"] Blue screens. Gotta love em. They always seem to point to anything and everything! Great discussion here though! (y) But hopefully the clues are in there. My experience with them has generally been flaky drivers or hardware. Two clues pointed out already in this thread: 1. Heat. It's possible that a fan is failed, or failing, leading to overheated hardware, errors, and blue screen. 2. Uninstalling the bluetooth driver.[I] [/I]In Windows it is always best to disable unneeded devices in Windows device manager, or if possible, in the BIOS setup. If you only uninstall the driver, the next time Windows boots it will attempt to re-install a driver that it thinks is best, unless the device is actually disabled. This could introduce some driver instability that was not there previously. Just my 2 cents. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
