I dropped my Dell laptop the other day while it was running.  when i opened the computer everything was frozen, so i tried restarting it.  when windows restarted the blue screen came up with the message that there was an error with the harddrive.  its currently being worked on but i used this as my excuse to pick up a macbook pro. 

anyone else ever encounter the blue screen of death?

dude if I had a dollar for everytime my lg laptop has chosen to randomly do the blue screen, id have a new macbook pro, hopefully shes still under warranty cause that can be an expensive fix if you want the info on it back.

my midi card was loose and I got the infamous bsod yesterday. I was upset because I had a new song I was working on not backed up...then I realized I nhever screwed the damn thing in and it was probably loose. easy fix! My hard drives are refurbs and every once in a while I get the blue screen of death from them, but as far as I can tell there really is nothing wrong with them (asside from bringing this up every once in a while) I have never lost data in 4 years.
