Hi there, please excuse any spelling or grammar errors as I'm currently typng on a horrible iPad keyboard.
I just bought the £399 gladiator ibis 2 weeks ago. When I first received it I managed to get my windows 7 disc installed no problem at all. After less than a day of using it I was already experiencing a cuple of blue screen and parts of windows randomly crashing (mainly windows explorer, task mgr and a fee random services). After checking all the hardware was correctly plugged in I decided to reformat again in hope it was just a buggy install. No luck, in fact I have been able to get any windows installed since (i had an old vista disc which I used and ended up borrowing a mates w7disc to try it). The blue screens where displaying ntfs errors so the only conclusions we could come to was that it was a corrupt hard drive. New hard drive ordered (aria contacted) and arrived' same issues. Blue screens during windows install, corrupt windows install during another. I'm at a bit if a loose end here. Any ideas on the matter would be greatly appreciated. I have images of the blue screen errors on my phone but can't seem to get them onto this laptop, if you are looking for any of the errors messages please let me know and I'll post them.
Ps, I have also changed the Sata cable and port for both the hard drive and DVD drive, no lick either.
