Re: DSODs all over the place



Thank you very much for your reply.

This is a brand-new laptop, so I haven't changed neither hardware nor
software.

Thanks for the advice regarding memtest - I'll follow it.

I have located the proper Win2k that I failed to find ere I posted - I
posted there and will truble this group no more with off-topic discussions.

Again, thanks for the advice
