Constantly. It'll bootup, then go online, freeze & either blue screen dump crash or go to black w/ upper left blinking cursor. Anyone know if this is more hardware or software? It has Vista from 2008 when bought. It is old but works so well until now. I have done partition resinstalls many times to no help. Also, many system restores -- also useless. I don't have any resintall Vista disc so that is out. Thx.
Sounds like a motherboard issue. When it does a BSOD it'll usually give you a numeric number with a bunch of zeros. List it or them. Try running this link and see what comes back:
Tried this all & thx. But I need a Vista resintall disc, yet I'm unsure if any initial discs were even issued when it was new laptopn in '08, & it is all just on a partition? If so, it won't work as tried many partition reinstall 3x to no avail.
