    I've been occasionally using Maya 2011 and gaming on my m14x and once in awhile I'll get the BSOD. I'm not sure how to read these things, would truly appreciate someone's help in how to decode why I'm getting BSOD. :confused:

    I don't remember off the top of my head, when it happens again. I'll take a picture with my phone.

    i had problems with BSOD when i added ddr3 memory. after placing in two new,identical modules it works like a charm. the problem mostly occured under specific conditions: low load and high power profile.

    so maybe try to work with 1 ram only. for me it was one module that didnt like the m14x. or maybe it was because one was 1300 and one 1600..



    sorry for my bad english, im not really awake already.
