Hey all, First, this is my first post on this forum, I found this forum when looking for a solution on my problems with the laptop. The laptop is a Dell xps L10701X (nearly one year old) The specs are: CPU = i7 GPU= nvidea 445M (3gb, non shared ram) HDD = 2x 500gb Ram = 12 gb DDR3 1333 OS = windows 7 64 bit ultimate (clean install just 2 hours ago) 2 out of 3 times i boot, the computer just freezes on booting, always happens during the windows logo. When it boots it just takes a game or a video to totally freeze the notebook, the screen turns black when that happens. Yesterday I have someone from Dell to replace my mainboard, but that didn't fix the problem. Any help would be greatly apriciated. Jory
"OS = windows 7 64 bit ultimate (clean install just 2 hours ago)"... Did you download and install all the Windows 7 updates after re-installing Windows including service pack 1. Run Windows Update until no more updates are found
