Fixing Windows
Yoshi:
Okay, I am getting FREAKING tired of this, and I am awfully pissed at the moment (it's hard to make me this pissed, really). Win do'hs is crashing like EVERYTIME I do something important. I recently lost 4 ******ing hours of work on this piece of crap.
Last time it said:
--- Quote ---A device driver that tried to damage the system has been caught.

I had no time to read it all and the .sys file associated. Just found that before it restarted the system.
Also there are dozens of SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION BSODs lately. I don't care about the services in Windows and I am about to fire up an installation of Ubuntu or Fedora on this thing.
What I did to fix the crap:
1. Reinstall Windows from the recovery partition on my laptop (up to 5 times dammit!)
2. Reinstall loads of crap and drivers.
3. Took the system apart to check for issues.
What I am looking to do (sorted on priority):
1. Switch to Linux.
2. Use a Windows CD to reinstall.
3. Return this laptop and have ASUS fix the thing.
My system is the laptop I recently got. This is the ONLY time I bought something from the freaking Internet and it turned out to be AWFUL. I learned to NEVER do that again.
Does anybody around here know how to fix this? It's driving me to the nuts.
Laptop specs:
Model: ASUS X53E-SX1403v
CPU: Intel Core i5 2450M @ 2.50 GHz (turbo 3.1 GHz)
GPU: Intel HD Graphics 3000
HDD: 320 GB
RAM: 1x 4 GB DDR3

You missed a crucial piece of info...
WHICH Windows?
XP? 7?
Also, if you're running Avast, or Bitdefender, try dumping them.

I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials along with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware. Avast was crapping up my display drivers.
