first try wiping XP off of it, install your own copy and see if that works for you (especially vista if you got it). I’d put money on it being a shitty driver provided by dell ---

Is anything plugged into the computer? How bizarre. ---

Only thing plugged into the computer is the monitor, logitech wireless mouse/keyboard, and printer. The last tower never had the printer plugged into it so I can basically rule that one out. I made sure to dload the most current driver from Samsung for the monitor. I did all the windows and Dell updates and it still crashed. ---

get rid of the dell drivers if you can… use the generic M$ stuff. I’m willing to bet that’ll fix your issue ---

and yet have not provided a error message. Seriously would be the easiest thing in the world to diagnose > [@9c1](#): > > Not a bad idea at all right there. I build all of my machines at home. I wouldn’t purchase a pre-built for myself. Personally this what I would do too… For someone that doesn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground about computers… the Dell 3 year fuck this I’m pitching my computer out the window, now give me another one, warranty is awesome. ---

Already fixed it myself. Did some research about the add-on programs that Dell installed on the computer. After some google searching the Anti-Virus software with the free 1 month trial offer they installed had a couple hundred articles about how it was crashing computers. I uninstalled it and it stopped crashing. I called Dell and told them about it and the Indian on the other end of the phone said “yes I have received a a bulletin letting me know that PC-Cillin has been causing blue screens”. I was like well… thanks for telling the people who buy your computers about it. ---

Pre-installed software FTL. Glad to see it’s fixed. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/blue-screen-of-death/42477.md?page=1)
