Crap
For the past week or so, I've been getting the dreaded BSOD. At first, I thought it had something to do with the graphics driver since at other times the screen would mess up and the computer would freeze, so I updated that, but that doesn't seem to have worked. In fact, now I'm getting different error messages than the ones I got before. Then today I was going to try a System Restore, only to find out all my restore points were gone except one from yesterday. (They do that on occasion, but gah, worst. possible. time.)
So now I'm not sure what to do. The good thing, I guess, is that at least the computer still works. The errors usually come within a couple of minutes of me waking the computer from sleep mode, and once I reboot, everything's fine. (And it doesn't happen every time; just some of the time.) They're more of an annoyance than anything else. Still, I can't imagine that constantly being rebooted from these errors can be good for the computer... I could take it to the local repair shop, but that would be the second time I had to do so, and if that's the case, I think I would rather get a new one instead than pay to fix another problem. I don't know. I think for right now, I'll just continue using this computer until it gets to the point where I can't use in anymore. (Or the errors drive me crazy. You know, whichever comes first.)
Well, at least I have time to make backups of all my important files this time, which I'm in the middle of doing right now just in case.
