Problem with new Dell computer (blue screen and random restarts)

[TheMetetron]

It started about 4 days ago (before I left for Vegas).

Basically on start-up (as I was logining in, or right before), my computer was consistently bluescreening (with a different STOP message each time). Sometimes it would let me on the computer for a few minutes and then it would bluescreen me. Sometimes, there was no bluescreen and it would just restart itself for fun.

Dell support was a ton of no help and it took me 2 days to try to get a decent answer from them. I get the feeling someone is going to have to come out to fix this.

Anyways, I left for the weekend and now I'm back. When I got back, the first startup automatically restarted right after I logged in. After that, however, I haven't had any problems (edit, I should mention I did a full system restore after restore points failed to work... even after this, it still bluescreeed me).

So, I've been on the computer for 10-15 minutes now just doing web browsing, installing antivirus stuff, uninstalling stupid dell crap and doing windows updates while restarting after each of these.

So far no problems... does anyone have any idea what it could have been / still is? I'm just waiting until I try to 8 table on Party and it inevitably crashes on me. I'm going to try putting my SQL database for PokerTracker on my external hard drive from now on in case that was doing something.

Anyways, I'm pissed and hopefully it works now. I'm cautiously optimistic, however.
