My Acer gave me the occasional BSOD when I was on Vista, but she's run beautifully since I upgraded to Windows 7.

That's pretty much what every person I know who upgraded says. Seems to shoot down the theory that BSOD is always hardware since the same problem should occur if that was the case.

Companies write the hardware drivers, not Microsoft. Uptake on Vista was sluggish and writing new drivers to comply with Vista security wasn't high on a lot of companies priority lists, since in many cases the XP driver kinda worked.

Anyway, my errors aren't the BSOD. It's a problem with Acer's boot agent/power utility.

Didn't forget, didn't care, didn't bother.

I choose to disbelieve!

Single cells up to 4"? That's nuts. Cthulhu will rise from the depths and slaughter us all :(
