My first post to a forum, so here goes. Got 3 BSODs within my first week. Very discouraging after having dropped so much $$ on this machine. Updated to latest BIOS version (A07) which appears to have addressed issues with disconnecting of power cords. Also reset my BIOS to RAID setup when it couldn't find my OS during bootup. This last BSOD came while I was transferring a 30MB file on a homegroup I created between two PCs.
As a side note, while on line with Alienware support I asked for any additional items to do to give my machine proper care and feeding to keep additional BSODs from occuring. As a result, I downloaded the latest ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 driver (8.692.2.0) and installed that.
Here is the info from the crash and my dmp file is uploaded.
