I have bought a refurbished Gateway GT5426E with Vista Home Premium
Operating System from TigerDirect.com. The first model was clearly
defective and I returned it and promptly received a new model.
However, this new model started with similar problems - the "Blue
Screen of Death." It has gotten past that problem but has frozen up
twice in two days.

I thought Vista was supposed to be more stable than XP. Are such
freeze-ups common with Vista or does this indicate a PC defect? I can
return this PC for 2 weeks. Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
