I've had my Alienware m14x r2 for less then a month and I've had a couple blue screen errors already. First, I thought it was just the heat from my long BF3 sessions, so I bought a cooling pad. I thought it solved the problem because I didn't get it after that. I few days later (now), I'm getting them more frequent. I'm updated all the current drivers too. Any suggestions on how I should pursue to tackle this problem?
