Re: Re. BSoD

Thanks, I will check this.

Also might explain why a 4GB DDR3 12800 stick didn't work (no bootup) despite being tested on another machine and found to be in perfect condition.

Also see re. comments about defective webcams on this and many other laptops, could be responsible for quite a few BSOD/spontaneous reboot failures.

I've also seen a form of tin whiskering before caused by humidity, some of the early HP laptops had this happen between closely spaced pins on the underside of the large ceramic capacitors for CPU Vcore power which was also responsible for at least some of the fail blamed on the Nvidia chipset.

The fix was just to replace the motherboard :-)
