I recently installed a windows 7, and even bought a spanking new HDD, but it seems like I'm still getting BSOD. Before that, I thought Vista was the one causing it, or old harddrive dying slowly but I guess I was wrong

What's your take on this? What could be causing those BSOD?

always always always check memory. use memtest86.

every single time i've had BSODs it was because i had memory go bad. the warranty on your RAM should be lifetime.

It could be anything. Most likely some hardware conflict or problem. Start by figuring out what your exact error is. http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/blue_screen_survival_guide

Yeah, I've been having lots of BSODs recently but on Windows 7.. Sometimes, it's during a game and sometimes I'm just surfing the net. Weird stuff -_-"
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like pandabearguy.

If by some chance its a pirated copy of 7, then that could be your problem.

If its a legitimate copy, it could just be a bad install, try twice more. If it still has that problem then you should start looking at hardware problems.
EffOrt. That is all.

What is the message on the BSOD? That would help narrow it down.

Also you can upload one of the .dmp files from windows/minidump/ for analysis. Usually random BSOD is either from faulty RAM or buggy drivers.

Do you get BSOD when starting windows? If that is the case, update your motherboards BIOS, i guarantee thats the problem.

You sure your motherboard is in good condition? You can boot up from a live Linux cd to run hardware tests. And if things don't work out, you can just run Linux happily ever after.

I agree on this point. Rather than a bug, this could be Microsoft's attempt at clever subtlety.
