Any help Left?
hey all, I've reported on my laptop before:
is this a hardware or software problem?
I'll pick it up from servicing. It will seem
to run alright for a couple hours - yeah just
enough time to get programs on , connect to
net.
THEN BSOD! - This will happen up to about every
half hour. The problem seems to be connected
to the USB ports. [ but can happen while just
surfing the net, too ]
For example: any other laptop can read a usb drive connected, but this one will crash. Or a simple search will crash it.
It has had new mother boards, etc.
Service cannot fix it to my satisfaction. aLTHOUGH they claim it is up to factory specs. They also claim this is a great laptop, and they never see service problems on this model.
I almost feel like they think I'm crazy now: like they think theres nothing wrong with it.
It's really disheartening to stand their whil
e they boot it up, see the windows screen, do
a couple simple operations and claim it fixed.
Fixed? I suppose if you just wrote a letter in note pad, you might like it - lol.
One bad thing is it has that darn ghost drive
on their with programs to reinstall everything,
so I cant just erase the partitions and install
a clean xp pro on to try.
) the D partition has xp home and bunch of crap
like norton on it. { anyway to erase this?
the d drive is fat 32. Actually I think a bootable cd will erase this D, but NOT the C drive]
any ideas?
thanks!!!
