HP Pavilion 23-B010: Specs HERE

Windows 6, 64-bit

This computer came with Windows 8 pre-installed. It's now fully updated. I've now had 3 BSODs in the past 4 hours. All saying to search for SYSTEM_SERVICE_ERROR or SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION after system restart.

Any idea what may be the cause here?

Any advice greatly appreciated

Could be faulty hardware, and the update may have made it worse.

have you installed any desktop application or hardware drivers?

If its brand new out of the box and you got a BSOD I would return it.

Brand new, purchased today. I did install the ATI Catylist Driver for Win 8 64 bit earlier. The past hour or so, I've had no issues. After my last post, another update was available. Genereic description on how it will "fix issues with Windows". Anyway, I have the receipt and 30 days to return it to Office Depot. I'll see how it goes.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
