Just having to say "blue screen" makes my stomach turn because I haven't delt with that since my first laptop right out of high school.
Ok, my M70 has been good to me since I got it on eBay but I was in one of those moods and wanted to try Vista x64. Well after installing I had the usual problems finding drivers and the like but every once in a while I'd get a blue screen that flashed for a second and then after a restart it was fine. Nothing that I was running or doing every time that I know of.
Well this last time I restarted and got the blue screen to flash before Vista was even booted completely and safe mode was the only thing that would work.
Thinking that Vista x64 was my problem and since I was thinking about going back to x32 anyway because of compatibility I tried to restore the factory settings but got another blue screen. I tried to reinstall x64 since it is not a restore version but got another blue screen. Even tried to install XP to no avail. I formatted the hard drive using my PS3 and tried to restore again but still get the blue screen.
I've also tried 2 different hard drives.
Any help is appreciated so please let me know what you guys think.
