I cant say I've ever actually seen my BSOD, but Windows claims to be recovering from one. This has been going on for the last 4 months. This computer was built in 2011 mid year. I've been assuming that this is a video card issue due to it only happening when the graphics card is "intensely" in...

Hi all, I am new to the forums and I'm here out of desperation. I bought my wife a Dell Inspiron Zino HD with Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled about 3 years ago. It has been working well since, with a few hiccups here and there. Three days ago it started behaving really badly: it would boot...
