    I just got my g1s on thursday. I read a lot of information on this forum prior to deciding what laptop to buy so I was hoping that someone here could help me out.
    I have been very busy so I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it yet but on thursday night I attempted to get it started up and get windows configured. The first time I turned it on it bluescreened, I restarted and almost got windows configured and it did it again. So I attempted starting up in safe mode. This didn't work because windows was not configured but when I restarted it worked. Last night I looked at a few websites and read my email before bed. It worked fine.
    This morning when I got up and started it up it bluescreened again (during start up) I was able to see the error this time and it appears to be some kind of IRQ error (IRQ NOT LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO).
    I started the computer in safe mode and then shut it down and started it back up and it was fine.
    Any ideas what is causing this?
    My husband and I bought two of these from gentech PC. They both have 4gigabytes of ram. His works fine and I have done nothing different with mine.

    My first inclination is a bad stick of RAM. Try running memtest on the RAM to see if one of the sticks is bad. Can get memtest from

    I second the ram.

    Use memtest86, let it run overnight and see if it reports any errors.

    If that comes out negative, then post back and we'll take it from there. :)
