i've backed up a lot of it already since this has been a consistent hassle for me.

i think if the design oversight was my biggest problem, it's probably too late to prevent any additional damage at this point. i've had my laptop for almost 4 years now and have had significant problems for over 2. i'll look into it though.

iirc you're like the resident computer overlord, right? does anything i've detailed here sound fixable or at least familiar to you?

i know just enough to be dangerous. i asked a friend of mine who knows way more than me (i actually paid her to put together my new desktop last year) and she said she'd recommend making an ubuntu live USB stick and booting off it to see if it runs without crashing in an isolated OS away from the rest of the PC (i have only the slightest hint of what that means 'cuz linux gamers are an oxymoron.) but she's more or less convinced it's a hardware issue.

[saku]

definitely will try that, thank you.

[dethtoll]

please do keep us updated. i think your laptop may be a lost cause, but i hope you can get it stable again.

Just expanding on "booting off Ubuntu live" in case others are curious about what's going on.

Ubuntu live is an operating system like Windows XP or Mac OS X. By booting from a USB stick, the information stored on the USB is used to make the computer run instead of the information stored on the original hard drive.

If a bad hard drive is the only problem, booting and running the laptop from another drive (the Ubuntu live USB stick in this case) should not give any BSOD errors, driver errors, or any other errors.

If booting and running the laptop with a different drive (the Ubuntu live USB stick) give similar BSOD errors and driver errors, then the rest of the hardware is faulty. More tests are needed to find out which hardware is causing the errors. There might be more than one piece of faulty hardware.
