Ya, just a small one. A mac would definitely solve the blue screen issue though. I gotta say, Microsoft has a ton of great products, but their OS's aren't one of them when it comes to your casual computer user. I understand they're great for more computer savvy folk, but I'm not one of them (yet), so I hold OSX as a great system thats simple and reliable. So anytime I hear about people having PC trouble, I just sorta shake my head, laugh, and think to myself, "shoulda spent the extra $1000 on something that WORKS". The only major downside is the lack of compatible programs, but there's ways around that... sometimes. But enough of my rant, this has been way off topic, I had a similar problem a number of years back. Got to the point where I just dumped it and got myself a macbook pro. Sorry I really can't be of much help.
P.S. I'm a mac-head if you haven't noticed
