Hello. My friend recently purchase a T520, and has recently experienced a BSOD, which he is somewhat concerned about, and considering I know very little about Windows crash logs, I wonder if someone with a greater experience of them would shed some light on whether the attached logs contain anything to be concerned about - which would require attention - or whether the occurrences were simply a glitch and may safely be ignored.

Here is how I installed Windows (the machine arrived with a blank drive):

#1: Installed Windows 7 64 bit, SP1 from a USB key (UEFI) created from an official Digital River ISO using Rufus (UEFI mode.)

#2: Activated Windows 7 via slmgr.vbs method.

#3: Installed "Lenovo System Update" and installed all crucial and recommended updates & drivers (& rebooted.)

#4: Ensured Windows Update was on, and updated EVERYTHING.

Code: Select all

You'll have to do better than that!
With all the ransomware floating about, people are (or at least should be) extremely weary to download anything they don't know!

Read that log again, then copy/paste the most relevant piece(s) of text in your post.
Or rather, ask your friend to repeat the crash and write down the stop/error code.
Or if you have it already, compare it against the codes here: http://aumha.org/a/stop.htm
