hello all i am in need of some major computer help im extremely lost and im not sure whats wrong with my computer and im not sure how to find out whats wrong. 3 weeks ago i moved from my appt to my new house i just got here today and set up my computer(it hadnt been turned on for at least 3 weeks) . i turned it on and let windows do my auto updates it finished and installed . after that i loaded a game and started to play i immediately got a blue screen(typically saying irql and memory _management). now im getting frequent blue screen errors when i try to play any video games. my laptop is over the min requirements of the game and all of the sudden im having problems when everything was working fine before? so i ran windows memory diagnostic and it didnt even complete the test it said " memory error detected contact manufacturer for details" . my laptop is now 1 month out of warranty and dell wants $150 to run a diagnostic on what might be wrong ...... i dont want to get run around and ripped off and in the end not get my laptop fixed. i dont understand why it would be running fine 3 weeks ago with no problems and now im having major issues? i have a dell and my OS is windows 7. any help would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!
