    Ok I got my newer laptop in the mail today, I was happy seeing that when I plugged it in the only error i got was a file missing from windows. figured easy fix...not! i put my new harddrive in out of my old laptop and it popped right on to a blue screen of death. I figured ok its the memory, processor, harddrive. I replace the cpu, memory and still got the same error. I then ran the harddrive test in the bios and it said harddrive failed, i don't see how this can be as it worked fine in the other laptop, i then place another harddrive in the slot and it fail to. I know 2 harddrives aren't bad. Does anyone have any ideas on how to cure this? I was wondering if maybe a bios update would cure it, or if i am **** out of luck and need a new motherboard??

    Seeing as you just got it, I would send it back and get another or a refund.
