1/28/2011 9:51:38 PM This PC is the first one I custom-selected (online from Dell) and I believe I will always go that way in the future. It is a very budget-based way to bang your buck via inherent trade-offs.

1/2/2010 4:45:03 AM dad tried to install programs he liked from old old old pc, they didn't work, and the drivers are all old, so I'm always getting "driver_irql_not_less or equal" bsod messages, then the black screen comes up that makes me have to choose "last known good configuration" and THEN I get a bubble on my quick launch telling me junk drivers . . disabled. . something something. I tried to uninstall everything he "copied" over and cleaned my registry, hoping this test will tell me what else is wrong.
