Sign in to disble this ad
I have a huge problem. After getting my new laptop, I've found that it's running everything flawlessly! All of my games are running at 40+ FPS, and it hasn't even crashed once! The BSoD is nowhere to be seen! Heck, I can't even manage to get a good virus for this thing, and I'm only running the default firewall! 
Anyone have any advice? I'm sick of my PC working so well, when I bought it thinking it would be the biggest piece of junk I ever got. Help!

I was looking forward to all the hype and being able to bitch about Microsofts failure but I have been denied.

most problems with computers having nothing to do with the OS or hardware.
most problems are a picnic.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jul 2003 Location: NET | | Man, I have the same problem. Since I got my Vista machine last November, it's been running more or less 24-7 and hasn't crashed once. What a disappointment. Vista was supposed to be a real crap OS, but now I find it's stable and working perfectly, even though my system is far from high-end. What to do?  Maybe install the service packs?
ED: Not to mention my old man's Compaq with XP, which he's been using happily for several years without a hitch (he's 82 now). We're being cheated.
