So far, so good...

Last night Suresh from the Microsoft Windows 7 Technical Support Center told me that I needed to do a "clean install" of Windows 7. When I installed Windows 7 the first time, it was an upgrade to Vista. This meant that all my applications and personal files were not affected by the installation. A clean install would require me to format my hard drive and install the Windows 7 operating system. After spending 15 hours the past few nights on the phone with Microsoft, I was ready to try almost anything. I had all my personal files and applications backed up, so I completed a clean install of Windows 7. Since I formatted the hard drive and installed Windows 7, my computer has been stable as a rock. I am still trying to make it crash, but so far, so good.
