I'm just going to be that person and say:

 

Get a Mac.

The fact that it's blue screening so much is odd. Since you just got it last christmas, I'm going to guess it's got Windows 7, which makes it's constant blue screening even odder. Have you run any scans on it recently?

I've run scans almost every time it blue screen's, and did one a few days ago. It's really weird.

No u. Use Linux!

Can you give me a little more info on the bluescreen? It should've given you an error code, 0x[something] and a big name like ERROR_NAME_GOES_HERE.

These days, with a blue screen, it's usually caused by a rogue driver going borked. The best likelihood is you need to update the video drivers, or if you did so, roll them back to a good one.

 

That's my advice.

 

Also guys, I doubt buying a Mac is a good solution right now, given it would mean getting used to a new system, spending more money on one in general, and also having to transfer all files and rebuy software for the new OS.

I have STOP: 0x0000001E, which according to the Dell service site is not a common error message.

I've still got a year of free customer support, so I'll probably try that. Since again, the code isn't a common one, I might need the help.

 

And thanks for the support. I'm used to Windows, and Macs, in the pas, have taken a certain amount of glee in making my life as difficult as possible.
