So I opened my laptop, I have a Toshiba satellite A505 and it’s 14 days old and saw that I was not connected to a wireless network. As far as I know I’m supposed to always be connected automatically(I have ResNet) anyways it wouldn’t connect to Ut’s restricted wireless network. After a few attempts the blue screen of death came out of nowhere. It crashed about an hr ago. I called toshiba support center and they told me to restart and press f8 a lot and click on last system configuration or something like that. Anyways it works fine now, but I’m kind of *ed this happened b/c the laptop is new. My uncle (who’s really smart w/computers) told me this can happen any time to anyone and shouldn’t happen again. He said I should get a memory stick just in case. However the computer is new and that’s why I’m worried and *ed. Yesterday I had to restore my computer to factory settings b/c I forgot my password. This is the only big thing that has happened w/my computer. Anyways after I restarted the computer it said that there were new windows updates and so I clicked install and it wanted to install internet explorer 8. I didn’t want internet ex. 8 so I said don’t install. Anyways I’m mostly just ****ed off b/c like I said this laptop is new and should work perfectly but that damn blue screen came up. Anyways does anyone have experience with this before? Is it understandable that this could happen even thought the computer is brand new?

On another note I bought it from best buy which has a 14 day return policy and guess what? Today’s day 14 yippeee!
